When she welcomed her daughter, Bradley, her approach shifted. Where many see motherhood as a pause, Jemma saw possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Travelling through the bush with Bradley from just two months old, she has embraced a slower, more intentional way of working. Together with her husband Guy, she has since launched House of Wild, a safari company focused on helping families experience Africa from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did becoming a mom change your work and travel?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt elevated everything. Before Bradley, my days were fluid \u2013 early mornings, late nights, chasing light. Now I work more consciously. There\u2019s a rhythm. I plan with intention, I\u2019m more aware of energy and pace. It\u2019s grounding, and creatively, it\u2019s added depth.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-43017\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-278x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-278x400.jpg 278w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-713x1024.jpg 713w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-768x1104.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-1069x1536.jpg 1069w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-292x420.jpg 292w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-696x1000.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2-1068x1535.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic2-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/a>Bradley went on her first safari at two months.

She\u2019d sleep on me during game drives, and when we stopped, she\u2019d feed and carry on.<\/p>\n<p>I remember one sunrise drive, looking at her and thinking, this is the best moment of my life.<br \/>\nWhat surprised me most was how easily she adapted. The bush is calm \u2013 the sounds, the air, the pace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do babies and safaris mix?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, if you let go of the idea that safari has to look a certain way. It\u2019s about choosing the right lodges and slowing down.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley is one now, and those early months were some of the best. The benefits far outweigh the worries \u2013 nature, fresh air, and teams who genuinely welcome families.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-43018\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3-293x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3-293x400.jpg 293w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3-750x1024.jpg 750w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3-768x1048.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3-308x420.jpg 308w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3-696x950.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3-1068x1458.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/04\/Pic3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/a>Your top tips for travelling with a baby?<\/strong><br \/>\nChoose calm, family-friendly lodges.
