Show Notes

If you haven’t caught our first series – Women in Travel – please do have a listen. In this first episode of Local Heroes in tourism in Africa we wanted to bring you another amazing woman. Barbara spent her childhood helping her single mother tend the fields and walk hours and hours to school every day. Her mother sacrificed everything to help Barbara take an opportunity to get a sponsorship and higher education. After that there was no stopping her and she pledged the rest of her career ensuring she helps others get the same opportunity.

Through her company Wild Horizons in Zimbabwe who run an incredible tourism operation, she works extremely close with the directors managing all aspects of the business including the charitable work. Along with the hundreds of children that Wild Horizons support, Barbara along supports 17 children. She is a true icon when it comes to understanding how tourism benefits the local community.
