Episode 1: Anna

Anna Tolan and her husband Steve emigrated from England to Zambia in 1998 to realise their dream of running a conservation education programme for young Zambians. Having decided to base themselves in Mfuwe on the banks of the river Luangwa in eastern Zambia, they were fortunate to be given some land for their enterprise by the local Chief. In May 2001, they opened the Chipembele Wildlife Education Centre and two decades later, some of Anna’s former classmates made the 1000 mile journey to pay her (and Chipembele) a visit. In this first episode, Anna talks about Chipembele and about how much she enjoyed playing host to ‘the girls' she had been at school with.
