I'm Brighton, a tech consultant. I work with tour and safari operators across East Africa, and I founded Ratiba.
Tech consultant · Arusha, Tanzania
About
I work on the technology side of travel businesses — the systems a tour company runs on, and the decisions behind them.
I founded Ratiba, where we build itineraries, websites, invoicing and payments for tour operators. I also help teams put AI to work, from architecture through to training.
Selected work
-
Ratiba
Founder. A platform tour operators run their business on: itineraries, websites, invoicing, payments, and the option to white-label the whole thing under their own brand.
-
AI Adoption
Architecture and training for leadership and staff — which tools fit the way a team already works, how they connect, and enough hands-on training that people use them.
-
Booking & Payments
Deposits taken, balances tracked, several currencies handled, and a month end that reconciles without anyone rebuilding it in a spreadsheet first.
-
Websites
Sites for safari and tour operators, built around answering an enquiry quickly and showing a multi-day itinerary the way it actually reads on paper.
-
Campaigns
Search and social advertising for tour companies, measured against the enquiries and bookings it produces rather than impressions.
-
Technical Advisory
Vendor choices, architecture, build versus buy, and who to hire — the calls founders and operations leads would rather not make on their own.
Clients
What clients say
Uwiduhaye DianeMakisalaWe wanted our own booking platform without spending a year building one. Brighton put Ratiba behind our brand, so our clients now book through something that reads as Makisala rather than as somebody else's software. He treated the brand side of that with the same care as the technical side, which is not what I expected going in.
