Africa with André

著者: André Thomas
  • サマリー

  • "Africa with André" is a podcast where we "Celebrate Africa - One Story at a Time". With this podcast, I want to break down the misconceptions and misunderstandings that many people have about Africa – and to create a positive image of the continent. Through interviews with partners and friends in tourism, we will listen to their stories: their experiences, their projects and about how they have made a difference in the lives of others. I’ve worked in the Africa travel industry for over 25 years, and I’ve had many conversations over the years, both with guests and travel colleagues about spending time in Africa: what they expect it will be like, what they worry about. What their understanding and image of the continent is. This podcast is not about giving you the normal tips of what to do – I am going to assume that you know that you will see Table Mountain when you’re in Cape Town. Rather, our conversations will highlight some of the goosebump moments you could have, and introduce potential new destinations to you. I want to help you understand how a holiday in one of Africa’s 54 countries is something to be excited about, like a 5 year old is in the days before Christmas. And just a quick note at the end: this is a project of love – not a job. I choose friends and partners that have stories which I find interesting and inspiring – and I hope you do too.

  • Should we protect ugly birds too?
    2024/12/18

    Should we protect ugly birds too? We talk about that, and other interesting projects.

    Jaco explains how muppets prevent sibling murders amongst the surprisingly valuable Shoebills in Zambia, and chats to us about other conservation projects in Chad and Ivory Coast.

    He also tells us about game drives, horseback safaris and the fascinating veterinary safaris they offer with elephants and lions at Botlierskop Game Reserve in South Africa.

  • Why do we need Game Reserves like Botlierskop?
    2024/12/04

    Most people only think of Game Reserves as places to see wild animals. But what you pay to stay does more much more than give you a comfy bed and coffee at breakfast.

    Jaco Koekemoer of Botlierskop Game Reserve explains what these reserves do for conservation: listen to stories about how they fight alien species, how they work with their neighbours to save the red-billed oxpecker birds, and how some cheetahs need to be taught to hunt.

    Jaco tells us about the 300 year history of the reserve (in brief!) and about the type of guests that the rangers love having on game drive.

  • On Safari in Kenya: did Guido answer your question?
    2024/11/20

    Guido talks to us about your questions – from spiders & snakes, through the Great Migration and why park fees in Kenya feel so high. And why that is a good thing! (Spoiler alert: poachers…).

    We also hear about places he loves to watch animals – and which his favourite animals are (and why). Enjoy listening in.
