Ryan Hilton

Conde Nast Traveler has recommended Ryan Hilton among Wendy Perrin's top travel specialists for his safari expertise every year since 2003. Born in Zimbabwe and schooled in South Africa, Ryan spent school vacations at a camp owned by his best friend's father. As guests hunted by day, Ryan explored the bush, taking photographs, rescuing injured animals and chasing warthogs. He went on to become a guide at South Africa's Londolozi Game Reserve. Ryan's background enables him to answer virtually any safari question. His extensive contacts and friends in the safari industry and his intimate knowledge of camps, history & wildlife are invaluable. He ensures exquisite treatment and thorough preparation for travelers, on top of Virtuoso amenities and world class service. "I believe a safari can change a person's life," says Ryan. "It's all about truth, tenacity, courage, strategy, and exposing deception. I have seen grown men cry."
