Bush Guides Unplugged: Stories from the Lower Zambezi

Join us as we venture into the wilds of Zambia’s Lower Zambezi
with three seasoned bush guides—Marshal, Luckson, and Malan. From
the rugged seats of a Toyota Land Cruiser, we chat with Marshal
and Malan about wildlife conservation, poaching, ecology, and the
intricate behaviors of Africa’s iconic animals. Then, we sit down
with Luckson, a top-tier guide with the highest level of
training, to uncover the rigorous education, testing, and
fieldwork required to lead walking safaris—a tradition that was
born right here in Zambia. Tune in for an immersive journey into
the heart of the African bush.
