Safari Guide Stories with Sherwin Banda and Jared Povall

Picture this: You are sitting in a covered safari vehicle, looking out across vast plains and grasslands. The vehicle bumps along, jostling the Tracker sitting in a lone chair at the very front. Suddenly your face splits into a huge grin as your Safari Guide says the words you’ve been waiting all your life to hear: “We’ve found them… lions!” These are the moments a Safari Guide lives for: To see people totally overcome by the sight of a lion, an elephant, a giraffe, or any myriad number of animals who call Africa – and Africa alone – home. Our guest Jared Povall worked for many years as a full-time Safari Guide before becoming the Sales Manager at Dulini Lodges in his home country of South Africa. While he says the Guiding lifestyle could be tough with its long days spent tracking animals from sun up to sundown, it was incredibly rewarding and a dream come true. Listen in to our interview with Jared Povall of Dulini and Sherwin Banda of African Travel to hear more great stories, tips, and insider perspectives from a former Safari Guide!
