What We Do.
Ritson Travel & Safaris specialises in thoughtfully curated safari and travel experiences across South Africa and select African destinations. We connect travellers with exceptional lodges, camps, and wilderness experiences—whether you’re looking for a classic Big 5 safari, a remote escape, or a family-friendly adventure.
We offer a range of hand-picked, pre-packaged safari options that showcase some of the very best wildlife regions in Southern and East Africa, alongside a bespoke planning service for travellers who want a journey tailored specifically to their interests, pace, and budget.
For those who prefer a more independent adventure, we also assist with self-drive and camping trips into iconic reserves such as Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi. From route advice and campsite selection to practical planning tips, we help you prepare with confidence so you can focus on the experience itself.
Every trip we plan is guided by firsthand knowledge, trusted local partners, and a deep respect for Africa’s wild places. Our role is simple: to help you plan a safari that feels well considered, personal, and truly memorable—whether you choose a ready-made itinerary or build something entirely your own.
