Local Heroes in Tourism - Musa Mbatha

This gentleman is Musa Mbatha – a good proud Zulu man who is the reserve manager for Babanango Game Reserve in the heart of Kwa-Zulu Natal. We loved talking to him and he is brimming with passion for the new venture and his love for tourism and conservation.  

From a young age, Musa took a keen interest in conservation has worked in tourism all his life. Most recently he has worked closely with the project managers behind the establishment of a new game reserve – Babanango. A phenomenal community empowered project returning areas of farming to pristine natural ecosystems. Musa has been the go-to man for establishing the game reserve and liaising with the local communities. The Inspiring African Travel team certainly learned a lot about this area through Musa’s interview and it is so encouraging to discover what good old enthusiasm and collaboration can achieve in creating successful tourism operations that preserve our wild areas and empower the people. Enjoy this and be sure to follow the team from Babanango on social media.
