Inspiring Children to Love Nature
Family safaris in St Lucia designed for curious children, conservation-minded families, and meaningful time in the wild.
At The Little Bush Baby Company, children are at the heart of every safari experience. Rather than simply being passengers, they are encouraged to observe, question, and explore.
Because we guide in small groups, the pace naturally adjusts to suit curious young minds. As a result, families feel relaxed and engaged rather than rushed from sighting to sighting.
In addition, we include thoughtful details such as child-friendly snack packs, simple activity packs, and a small wildlife-themed toy box. These small touches help banish boredom – and screens – for a little while.
Most importantly, our goal is not just to show wildlife, but to help children form a genuine connection with the natural world.

Together, this creates safaris that feel safe, personal, and deeply engaging for children and adults alike.

More than a safari – eco education for junior nature lovers

From homeschool-friendly bush walks to virtual conservation sessions, we guide children to understand ecosystems, animal behaviour, and their role in protecting the natural world.
Small Groups. Comfortable Travel. Genuine Care.
All transfers and selected experiences operate in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles.
Because smaller groups create better conversations and quieter wildlife encounters, your experience feels personal rather than crowded.

An AMAZING and informative day safari to Isimangaliso Wetland Park with Ashley.
Review of The Little Bush Baby CompanyReviewed 4 weeks ago
Our full day safari to the Eastern Shores of the Isimangaliso Wetland Park with Ashley was outstanding. Ashley is beyond knowledgeable and we learned so much from him about every animal we saw (from ants to elephants!) along with interesting insights into various plants and fascinating facts about the history of the area. The breakfast and lunch provided were exceptional and great care had been taken by The Little Bush Baby Company to avoid allergies within our group that we had notified them of. The food was also “unique” and not the usual bulk standard received on every other tour. We cannot recommend Ashley and The Little Bush Baby Company more highly. We hope their new day safaris to Isimangaliso are enjoyed by many others as our trip was an absolute treat to us.

We had a phenomenal private tour with Ashley in this National Game Park. We saw so many animals, birds, insects, and flora. Ashley knew it all and educated us about all the indigenous species. He was so easy to talk to and didn’t make us feel as if any of our questions were silly. We learned so much and had a truly delightful day.
