Having discovered my passion for bush life at an early age, I set about living that dream! As soon as I could I enrolled in academic, vocational, and practical work to gain extensive qualifications (plus over 10 years in the guiding industry!) and have worked hard to build a wealth of knowledge and personal experiences that I love to share with my guests. Spending time out and about in the bushveld means every day is different! The thrill is, that you never know what you will encounter or discover until you come across it, be it hippos, zebra, dung beetles, a rare plant species or an endemic bird. This is what makes me so passionate about the tours I offer and the experience my guests receive whilst we spend time together exploring. I spend my days out and about in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park or nearby Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park looking for more than just the well-known wildlife! The South African bushveld is simply fascinating! My home is in a small coastal town, St Lucia, uniquely situated within a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, on the northeastern coast of South Africa. It is a haven for wildlife, marine life and unique flora and small fauna. With a focus on the wildlife, all of the tours I offer give my guests an insight into all creatures, great and small, and you will be surprised how interesting the bushveld can actually be! Join me on a tour, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, to explore the best that Mother Nature has to offer in this unique part of South Africa. I look forward to meeting you!

Overview of your Richards Bay tour

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park is the oldest proclaimed national park in Southern Africa and where the rhino populations were saved from extinction in the 1960s. It is home to the Big 5 plus the majestic endangered Wild Dogs (also known as Painted Dogs), cheetah and other African wildlife. You will join Ashley on this relaxed yet immersive African experience searching for wildlife, big and small, taking in the vast landscape, the stunning flora and fauna, and soaking up the sightings, sounds and smells of the African bush. 'If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa'- John Hemingway. After a day on safari, you will understand this sentiment, there is something truly magical about spending time out on safari, watching wildlife in its natural habitat, and going about its everyday tasks! Please note we will be searching for completely wild animals therefore no sightings are guaranteed.
