Ritson Safaris

Beyond securing the right lodges, I bring structure and coordination to your entire journey. Once you've arrived in South Africa, I'll plan your local transfers, travel timings, and the order of your destinations — designing an itinerary where every component works seamlessly together. That's a smoother, more enjoyable experience than booking each element independently.
And it won't cost you more. My rates match what you'd pay booking directly with the lodge — there's no added markup. In fact, thanks to my relationships with many of the lodges and travel partners, I'm often able to offer special rates that aren't available to the public, so in some cases you'll pay less.
Simply reach out via the enquiry form or schedule a call.
From there, I’ll take the time to understand your travel style, interests, and timing before crafting a tailored proposal designed specifically around you.
Every journey begins with a detailed consultation. I then design a curated itinerary, selecting lodges and experiences that align with your preferences.
We refine this together until it’s exactly right, after which I manage all reservations, logistics, and pre-travel preparation—ensuring everything is seamless from start to finish.
Ritson Safaris is entirely founder-led. I personally design and oversee every journey, combining first-hand safari experience with trusted lodge relationships to create thoughtful, seamless itineraries that go beyond the standard offering.
Costs vary depending on the level of luxury, destinations, and time of year. As a guideline, most journeys range from $250 to $2,500+ per person, per night, including accommodation, meals, game drives, and guiding.
I’ll tailor recommendations to align with your budget while ensuring exceptional value.
Absolutely! I remain available throughout your journey, monitoring your trip and providing assistance whenever needed. You travel with the reassurance that someone who knows your itinerary inside and out is always on hand.
