What our clients say
Posted on ChrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family holiday at Le Tousserok was honestly unforgettable, one of those trips that you just know you’ll talk about for years. Leigh and the BAYA Africa team didn’t just book us a beautiful stay, they made the whole experience feel personal and full of heart. From the moment we arrived, everything was taken care of: restaurants booked, the girls’ little gifts waiting on their beds, every small touch thought through. What really stood out was the care and excitement they shared with us along the way. You can feel that they truly love what they do, and that joy shows in how they look after every detail. It was already a five star resort, but Leigh somehow made it feel even more special, effortless, warm, and filled with love. We came home completely recharged and grateful. Thank you, BAYA Africa. We can’t wait to plan the next one with you. The Sims Family (Chris, Shebz, Raf and Sav)Posted on Nancy MitchellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leigh and Clare are amazing at knowing the right spot to send every client. They are passionate and are so intent on delivering the best for clients. Most importantly they are ethical and will always be honest which is a rare thing in the industry. I recommend them to everyone I know.Posted on Charl GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Planning around this trip was excellent and Baya get a highly recommended ratingPosted on zoe taylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently got engaged at Tawana, and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. A huge thank you to Baya Africa for arranging everything so perfectly, from the travel to the lodge experience, every detail was seamless. From the moment we arrived, it was magic. The team at Tawana knew my favourite cocktail and had it waiting for me, which set the tone for how thoughtful and special the whole stay would be. Our ranger was phenomenal. His passion, knowledge and instinct gave us front-row seats to some of the most incredible sightings, a cheetah eating a baby giraffe, a pair of mating leopards, a lioness kill with her cubs, and the list goes on. Every drive felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The lodge itself is next level. Beautiful design, impeccable attention to detail, and food that blew us away at every meal. Our room was pure luxury with breathtaking views, private plunge pool and total comfort. One of the biggest highlights was a helicopter flip over the Delta. It gave us a completely different perspective of the landscape and was absolutely surreal. From start to finish, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, everything just flowed. Tawana made our engagement feel incredibly special. The people, the setting, the care - it all came together in a way that’s hard to describe. Our only regret is not staying longer. We’ll be dreaming of this trip for a very long time.Posted on Katy RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every single detail was taken care of, before I even needed to ask. What a breath of fresh air! Thank you SO much to the team at Baya Africa for making this family holiday to Mauritius absolute perfection 🤩 We travel a lot, all over the world, and we have not had such a professional, timely, seamless experience as we did with Baya Africa. In fact, this was our first time using Baya, and we are already planning our next trip with them. Thank you!Posted on Cayley GowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Claire, from Baya Africa, assisted us in booking the most amazing bush trip at Savanna in Sabi. She was so accommodating and was even assisting us outside of business operating hours. She was efficient, helpful and I couldn't recommend Baya Africa more. We had the trip of a lifetime, all thanks to Claire.Posted on Suzy BurgessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Baya Africa helped us with the best family holiday to Mauritius! The whole experience with them was seamless and everything was planned to the T! Even though we asked them 100 different questions and for 100 different quotes, they never once complained. We will definitely use them again - thank you Claire.Posted on Melissa VerhaveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Baya helped me book a trip to Mauritius and took care of every detail. They are travel experts with a thorough knowledge of dozens of destinations and incredible rates with premium hotels. I loved the gorgeous travel beach bag that they gifted us a week before the trip, such a nice touch and demonstrative of the personal interest they take in their clients.Posted on Joscelyn CarlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing amazing amazing! We had the most wonderful experience working with Claire and Leigh at Baya Africa. We were hesitant to use a travel agency as we usually book our own trips but we were not disappointed. Every detail was taken care of from flights to hotels to transfers - which led to the most magical family holiday in paradise. Baya organized our trip to Mauritius (Beachcomber Paradis) for our family of 4 which included a new baby. Working with them (from the US) was seamless - they were super responsive, very knowledgeable about the areas/resorts and were able to organize baby extras (baths, changing tables, etc) so we did not have to worry about packing them. They knew exactly which rooms would work for us based on our family and they were spot on! When we had a few hiccups with the hotel (out of Baya’s control), they jumped into action and got us a dolphin boat tour and villa upgrade immediately (without us even asking). I cannot recommend them enough for any trip you are planning in Africa - Cape Town, Mauritius, other Indian Ocean islands, safari, or anywhere your heart desires. You are in excellent hands and you will be making the most wonderful memories while they handle the heavy lifting. Thank you Leigh and Claire!
