We've known Ryan for years and are thrilled to say he has now joined The Luxury Safari Company team since leaving the Zambian bush to be with his wife and forthcoming baby. His time guiding has meant that he has tonnes of tales of living the safari lifestyle - here are just a few. Ryan Wilmot has spent the past 17 years as a professional guide and camp manager in some of Southern Africa’s top lodges, National parks, and private reserves. He holds an honors degree in Nature Conservation which is the foundation for his deep understanding of the natural environment. He is a fully qualified guide in South Africa and Zambia, and favors unique experiences, like game viewing on foot or canoeing some of the wildest waters out there. He has a passion for people and their re-connection to the environment. He sees every safari as an opportunity to learn, about nature of course, but also human and wildlife behaviour. He has hung up his full time guiding boots to allow for family commitments but is dedicated to tailoring the most amazing and memorable safaris for his clients and preparing them for adventures of a lifetime. His priority is exceeding your safari expectations.
