Zambezi Expedition
Simon Parker joined our non-profit Zambezi Expedition with our sister company, Africa Exclusive, in celebration of our 32nd birthday. He travelled from source to sea, gained behind the scene access to many impactful conservation projects and learned how endangered species can thrive along the banks of the Zambezi. Other expedition highlights included traversing private game reserves for close wildlife encounters, forging genuine connections with remote communities and finally, an unforgettable helicopter flight over the Zambezi to witness the river meet the Indian Ocean.
