A family-run business specialising in family-friendly, child-orientated nature activities, small group safaris and shore excursions in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park in the heart of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
Going on safari is such a unique experience, it is about more than just seeing animals in the wild. It is about soaking up the sights, sounds, smells and even tastes of the bushveld. You want to leave with memories that will last a lifetime (along with those amazing pictures).
We focus on small group safaris (including shore excursions) so that you, our guest can get to know your guide, and your guide can get to know you. This means you can really learn about life in the bush as well as life in South Africa in a more informal setting.
As a family of 5, we also know how challenging it can be to get children out and about enjoying our natural world. This is why we have developed a range of safari experiences just for families. With activity packs, snack packs and a pace that suits children, everyone can enjoy the ride and it's educational too! No technology, just a good time out in the bushveld!
Ashley and Katie met on one of the local Big 5 game reserves and realized then their shared dream of educating children and adults about the natural world. This is at the core of their family life, with days spent looking for wildlife on game drives, learning about the unique flora, saving disorientated dung beetles and rehoming lost geckos within their family home.
Life is certainly never dull, come and find out for yourself!
It was perfect. Ashley was an exceptional guide, who knows the reserve like the back of his hand. He... - Karine Mateo.

It was perfect. Ashley was an exceptional guide, who knows the reserve like the back of his hand. He took care of adults and children, welcomed us like kings (gifts and sweets for children...). Absolutely perfect organization by Katie too. Breakfast by the water, delicious lunch. Everything was perfect. The children were delighted with everything they discovered and learned. We received lessons on flora and fauna, anecdotes, Ashley is a great guide. We really recommend the services of Little Bush Baby if you are passing by, with or without a child. Thanks to them

We had a wonderful day with Ashley (The Little Bush Baby Company) at Hluhluwe-iMfolozi National Park. He came to the cruise terminal on time at Richards Bay to pick us up in his very comfortable SUV. This was perhaps the best tour/travel experience we have ever had in our many years of international travel. Ashley is passionate and highly educated about the fauna and flora of the South African bush and is an experienced tour guide. His tour of the National Park exceeded our high expectations. We saw virtually all of the animals in a natural setting and learned so much about the history and culture of the area. Ashley is South African and very knowledgeable about his country. The morning snack and picnic lunch prepared by his wife Katie were superb and her pre-excursion communications were excellent. Our return to the cruise terminal after a full day of fun was enjoyable. We would give this tour and company the highest possible rating.

We had a phenomenal 9 hour private tour with Ashley! He is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the animals, birds, and plants and we loved learning about all of the things that he shared with us. We had so much fun finding the animals and taking photos! The lunch that he provided was lovely and he had lots of different food choices. By the end of the day, he felt like a friend! We can't recommend the tour and Ashley enough!!
