Part of my travel planning job at Tin Trunk involves talking to people about the daunting aspects of a trip to Africa. It's far. It's in the news for the wrong reasons much of the time. There are animals here much bigger than us and others wh
Joy Juma loved camping and being in the African wilderness when she was a young girl. Early on, she decided to work in conservation and has been involved with many different projects over her career. Today, Joy is a key member of the Zeitz Fou
Mike Jackson and his wife Sarah are beloved members of our family. Mike has been travelling in Africa since the 1980s - before, during and after his distinguished career in the British Army as Chief of the General Staff. There is hardly an area
Robert Lochiam is one of those guides who I know I need to interview after just a few hours together. I was excited to visit a new lodge in an important area for conservation in Kenya and Robert, who goes by his surname, Lochiam, showed us just
This is the first of a series of podcasts centered on the theme of bush pilots flying around Africa. I begin with my own story of becoming a pilot and hope this is inspirational for anyone tempted to take to the skies. Africa from the air is a
Imagine steep hillside roads, narrow such that cars often have to give way for the oncoming traffic. People everywhere on both sides of the road: lorries, cars, safari landcruisers. We are talking about a crowded scenario on the Rwandan roads
Christmas on Safari is the perfect way to make the holiday about time together, about sharing beauty and awe and magic with those you love. In this short episode, I speak about what it is like to be on safari over Christmas, and tell a Samburu
When Diana Sutter is not in Northern California, you are safe to bet she is in Africa. Diana has seen more of Africa than most - including safari guides. She has visited the kinds of off-the-beaten places many of us who live here full-time sti
On Safari in Rwanda! Following my special interview with the three men who worked with Dian Fossey to help save the Mountain Gorillas (previous episode), I am talking about Rwanda in general now: the country, the people, the history - sad and y
This interview still gives me goose bumps. I have honoured Dian Fossey's work - exposing to the world the plight of the Mountain Gorilla and learning more and more about our wise and wonderful cousins - since forever. Getting to meet three men
My African story begins with a horse safari in 2004. It's why I fell in love with this place and riding across Africa is still one of my favourite ways to experience the wilderness. Horse safaris are a thing, and for those who ride, an incredi
It’s BotswanAAAH. This is Africa’s most private and pristine safari destination. Stunning tented camps, watching animals on your own...the water...the light...the luxury! (The price tag to match most of the time too.) Safaris here visit the wor
Everyone, meet Katie, otherwise known (by me!) as Dr. Doolittle. She is an animal whisperer in many ways and has devoted her life, with her husband Jeremy and three small children, to living in the African bush and helping ensure the success
Jen Murphy is a real-deal kind of journalist. I admire her approach to writing about Africa and the stories she chooses to tell. She writes what she loves and she certainly gets around enough to know what that is. What I enjoyed about this con
I preface this chat with Brad about the fascinating world of termites with my thoughts on safari guides and the trends I see shaping the future of African guiding. More and more, the support of local guides is leading to engaging, well-trained
Jonhson explained the unique spelling of his name before we began recording - one of those hospital spellings that stuck. That is not the only unique thing about him either. Jonhson is a curious and highly educated man with a mind for science
This is an apperitivo to Madagascar. At the least, it will make you excited to hear my interview with Jonhson (who tells the funny story of the spelling of his name) coming soon. And at the most, you will get a trip to Madagascar onto your ca
The roles are reversed today. When my very dear friend, Gina Clifford, returned to Africa for her third visit, I planned to interview her about trekking for gorillas in Uganda. Many Tin Trunk clients do it there and in Rwanda and I think it’s t
From his first curious moments as a boy, watching tourists stop along the road in his native town in southern Uganda, to becoming a senior safari guide, Francis has cultivated a love of Uganda's wilderness - not just where the gorillas live, bu
I'm speaking here with our son, Roddy Hutchings. He lives and works in Amsterdam following a childhood in Kenya and education in both South Africa and the U.K. Roddy and I talk about his field: carbon - the markets, the realities, the challenge
In my attempt to put the magic of Africa into words, I had the great pleasure to interview seven friends of our son, Orlando Hutchings, during a recent safari. Each speaks of their experience here with insight and understanding, not to mention
There is something about this place that leaves you changed. Every visitor on safari leaves feeling different, awed, hugely lucky to have seen the wilderness, the animals and to have met the extraordinary people. I invite you not only to listen
When I am in ecosystems and landscapes (and in this case also seascapes) that are so pure and wild and in which I am not the predominant species, I feel connected to Nature in an indelible way and this feeds my soul deeply. Bird Island is such
Shelan Rodger is a published author, a graduate of Oxford, a multi-lingual drama therapist and a woman who fully embraces adventure and living authentically. She is also one of my closest friends. Enjoy this wide-ranging conversation full of ad
Hopefully you had a chance to listen to Part 1 of this homage to the great rivers in Africa - well some of them at least! Here, I present 3 more. Two well known and very important to the magnificent safari destinations we often cross the world
