In this episode of This is Africa Podcast, Andy sits down with Guav Johnson, a Zimbabwean professional hunter forged by the land he grew up on. From a childhood spent tracking game with his father and brother, to guiding clients through the unforgiving jungles of Cameroon, Guav’s life is a story of hard lessons, close calls, and deep-rooted respect for the wild. He speaks openly about near-death encounters, the brutal realities of hunting in remote Africa, and what it means to truly survive out there. This is a raw conversation—about life in the bush, the war against poaching, and the fragile future of Africa’s wildlife. It’s not romantic. It’s not sugar-coated. It’s the truth from someone who’s lived it. This is Africa.
