Meet The Team
The Highland Safari Team - We’re in it together!
From humble beginnings in 1991 Highland Safaris is now wildly know as Scotlands’ premier Land Rover Safari and Event Management company. Highland Safaris offer guests unique products specifically designed to provide memorable experiences within our Highland Perthshire Estates. The outstanding reputation of Highland Safaris is the result of our uncompromising high level of customer service, driven by the core team at Highland Safaris.
The Core Team are:
-
Donald Riddell: Managing Director
Donald has been in it from the beginning! Highland Safaris was established from his passion and knowledge for the wilderness environment. Donald’s roots are well established in Highland Perthshire with many generations of his forebearers part of this land - people who have shaped the very fabric of it. He has a huge desire to share this with others - it’s very infectious. -
Julie Riddell: Director
Julie was a midwife before joining Donald at Highland Safaris. Quite a contrast but she has risen to the challenge and her ability to understand what potential clients want from a day has allowed us to develop products which are unique, match clients expectations and are sustainable. As a native to Highland Perthshire, Julie likes nothing better than to be out on the hills enjoying this beautiful area. She also likes to keep the team in order. -
Andy Reed: Operations Director
Andy has been with Highland Safaris for 10 years now. He has always had a passion for the outdoors and nature and this together with his mechanical skills keeps the Highland Safaris fleet of Land Rovers mobile. His enthusiasm and stamina as well as his ability to see the funny side of life makes Andy a very fine person to have on the Highland Safaris team. -
Gillian Young: Corporate Accounts Manager
Gillian joined the Team in 2005 and has been a key part of the team providing budget and cash flow projections as the Business has grown. Her only complaint is that were not very good at sticking to them.

“We enjoyed the safari into the hills. We saw hawks, hares and Deer. The Golden Eagle came by when we were having our tea at the Bothy. The telescope was also a big help to spot Deer. We will treasure this experience Thank you for sharing it with us.”
