Amazing safari, great for children and all ages. - I cannot rate this safari experience highly enough, it was beyond five stars. From pick up at our suite in St Lucia to drop off, Ashley was an amazing guide and went above and beyond to make our trip special. We went on this safari with our 3 year old, as it was one of the few that catered for children that young. There were colouring books, extra blankets, lunchboxes and a big box of toys in the mini bus ready to keep our little one entertained if attention waned during the trip. Breakfast and lunch were taken on top of a mountain with stunning views, breakfast being a selection of foods and home made cake from Katie, and lunch being a BBQ with steak and sausages and all the trimmings. Ashley was extremely knowledgeable on all the animals we saw, telling us the difference between the males and females, the different subspecies of birds and antelope, and how many were left in the wild and in the park. The day was capped off with an invitation to a beautiful walk along the beach under the full moon with Ashley and Katie and their family and friends. I would whole heartedly recommend this safari to anyone with smaller children, if you want to give them an amazing trip that they'll always remember.

Excellent Family Safari - We took the full day safari tour with our kids, aged 3 and 5, who do not speak English. Ashley, our guide, made the experience fun and engaging for them. His knowledge about the wildlife and the area was impressive, and he went out of his way to ensure everyone had a great time. The closed car was perfect for our family , providing a comfortable and safe way to explore the safari and letting the kids roam around inside. They even provided activity packs for them, which was a very nice touch. The food was also excellent, far exceeding our expectations of "safari fare". We got to see 3 out of the Big 5, along with plenty of antelopes and other animals. The area felt very free and positive for the animals, meaning they were not all huddled together by the side of the road due to lack of space, but rather roaming freely in a natural habitat. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend the Little Bush Baby tour with with Ashley!
