Introducing Series 2 - Local Heroes In Tourism

Our interviews meeting inspiring people in the African travel industry is back with series 2 – Local Heroes in tourism in Africa. We have spent a lot of time getting hold of some lovely people with inspiring stories about their journey in African tourism. We bring you the people who do not normally have the platform to share their story. The next series will not only take you on journeys through the lives of people wonderful people from Africa, but they will also inspire you about the beautiful destination and the good that tourism can do for the communities and protected areas. 

We interview a man who was born within a nomadic community living in a remote part of the Okavango Delta. A man who went from a community of hunter gatherers living off the land to becoming a professional guide and ultimately mentoring his beloved nephew to become an industry leader in the safari business in the country.

 
A wonderful woman speaks to us about her tough upbringing in the highlands of Zimbabwe helping her mother tend the fields while walking everyday, sometimes two hours each way just to get to school. 

We meet a man who is helping create a brand new game-reserve and conservation area in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. He was born on the very same land that is now becoming a community involved project in re-wilding this stunning area. 
Just a few of the Local Heroes that will be sharing their inspiring stories with us as we bring you closer to the beauty of our continent and the people involved in tourism here. You can watch the video interview on our Youtube channel – https://youtu.be/edp-m5KtF2s and website – www.inspiringafricantravel.com.
