Dreaming  about taking a huge bike adventure? Then this episode is for you.Ellie Mitchell-Heggs shares her insights from her solo journey where she cycled 10,000 kilometres  across Africa from Rwanda to Cape Town. All up her trip was nine months long and took her across ten countries. It was also a ride that was layered with both a personal family connection to Africa and loaded up with a huge sense of purpose as well.Alongside the cycling, Ellie spent time in every capital city meeting with over 100 local NGOs, social enterprises and community organisations working in education, youth empowerment and gender equality. Ellie shares how those conversations, got her through the toughest stretches on the road.In this episode we cover:How Ellie got into bikepacking starting with the Vélodyssée down the west coast of FranceWhy she chose to start in Rwanda and ride south The communities and landscapes that shaped each country, from Uganda's warmth to the brutal isolation of Botswana's flat roads70 kilometres being swarmed by tsetse flies in a Tanzanian national parkCanoeing four days down the Zambezi river as a mid-trip resetGrieving her father on the road Cycling through Namibia with two fellow bikepackers.Food poisoning two days from Cape Town, and the unicycle escort into the cityWhat made those NGO conversations so energising Find Ellie on Instagram: @ProjectCycleAfrica Check out Old Man Mountain's new Manzanita Handlebar Cradle  Support the showBuy me a coffee!I'm an affiliate for a few brands I genuinely use and recommend including:

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 12th of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Numbers 11:14: ”I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.” Then we go to the New Testament to 2 Corinthians 12:9: ”And He said to me,“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” So when we are weak then we are strong. I think you have heard me say this many times before, God gives us strength for the strain. Are you going through a very tough time at the moment? Are you saying to yourself: ”There's no way out for me”; “I am done, I can't do it anymore, I'm tired, I'm weary”; ”I have had a disaster in my business”; ”My marriage is not working well”; “My children are sick”; “There is no hope for me.”? Oh yes, there is! Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face And the things of the earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.I remember like yesterday - it was many, many years ago, I left my young wife and my young children, and I took a huge 20-ton Mercedes-Benz truck and trailer, with a team of men, and we went up into Zambia to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'll never forget it. We arrived at the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. In those days, there was no bridge over the Zambezi as there is today. You had to wait with a line of trucks ahead of you for a pontoon to take you across this huge river. I remember sitting on the banks of that river and feeling very homesick, and looking across the river to Zambia and thinking about the trip I had organised to take, from the bottom of Zambia right through to the very top, with my dear friend, Peter Motale, who was waiting for me on the other side. He was my chief interpreter and one of my spiritual sons, and I remember sitting there saying, ”Lord, this is too much. The burden is too heavy, the responsibility.” For six weeks, we will be preaching the Gospel, day and night, looking for diesel to fill that truck to keep it going, meeting up with different groups of people in rural areas where we had not been before, and yet the Lord said, ”I will give you strength for the strain. My grace is sufficient for you.”What a promise from God! Today, cast your cares upon Him and let Him direct your paths, and you will get through, and you will accomplish it, and you will give Him all the glory.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

In this episode, we sit down with Christopher August — breathwork facilitator, author, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a conversation that runs from a literal billboard to a near-death drowning on the Zambezi that seeded the mission he's lived ever since. We trace his path from corporate tech and quiet despair into Peace Corps Tanzania, the medicine work that reopened his capacity to feel, and the slow alchemy of moving from victim to creator. We talk about soul sickness as a cultural diagnosis, the inner child as the keys to freedom, and the Gene Keys as a map from shadow into gift. Christopher names what he's stepping into next: a healing community in the Pacific Northwest he's been envisioning for fifteen years, and the abandonment wound that surfaces when you say yes to the call again.(00:00) Peace Corps Intro(00:34) Opening Conversation(06:47) Show Start(08:04) Corporate Life To Calling(11:29) Near Death Experience(17:14) Peace Corps Mission Work(19:35) Returning Home Culture Shock(21:31) Breathwork Awakening(26:38) Sonic Breathwork Modality(29:44) Plant Medicine Insights(33:34) Family Healing And Compassion(37:51) Constellations And Sovereignty(43:38) Gene Keys(49:48) Breath Meets DNA(01:03:06) Abandonment and Big Move(01:08:01) Vision for Community(01:17:37) Relationships as DojoGuest LinksWebsite: https://christopheraugust.coBook: Master Your Breath, Transform Your LifeApp: Beats in BreathConnect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetWatch Our EpisodesJoin our free Telegram communityJoin our membership Friends of the Truth

Boere in die Zambezi-streek eis dringende militêre ingryping om veediefstal te bekamp nadat meer as 3 000 beeste ter waarde van sowat 24 miljoen Namibiese dollar na bewering sedert 2019 gesteel is sonder om teruggevind te word. Die boere het 'n petisie aan Zambezi-goewerneur Dorothy Kabula oorhandig. Vincent Siliye, voorsitter van die Liselo-Kamenga Anti-Veediefstalvereniging, het meer.

Ernesto Sirolli memulai revolusi pemikirannya melalui sebuah kegagalan pahit di tepi sungai Zambezi, di mana proyek pertanian "ahli" dari Italia hancur dalam semalam oleh kawanan kuda nil karena kurangnya komunikasi dengan penduduk lokal. Pengalaman ini melahirkan prinsip radikal dalam pengembangan ekonomi: "Diam dan Dengarkan." Sirolli berargumen bahwa bantuan internasional dan pengembangan ekonomi sering kali gagal karena sifatnya yang top-down dan arogan, di mana para pakar merasa lebih tahu kebutuhan komunitas daripada masyarakat itu sendiri. Bagi Sirolli, rasa hormat adalah kunci utama; pembangunan yang berkelanjutan hanya bisa dimulai ketika kita berhenti memberikan saran yang tidak diminta dan mulai merespons gairah serta ide yang sudah ada di dalam hati individu-individu lokal. Dalam metodologi Enterprise Facilitation yang ia kembangkan, Sirolli menekankan bahwa peran pendamping bukanlah sebagai pengarah, melainkan sebagai fasilitator yang responsif. Ia memperkenalkan konsep "Trinitas Manajemen" (Trinity of Management), yang menyatakan bahwa sebuah bisnis yang sukses membutuhkan keseimbangan antara gairah terhadap produk, kemahiran pemasaran, dan ketelitian manajemen keuangan. Sirolli percaya bahwa tidak ada satu pun manusia yang mampu menguasai ketiga aspek ini secara sempurna sendirian. Oleh karena itu, tugas seorang fasilitator adalah membantu wirausahawan mengenali keterbatasan mereka dan menemukan rekan kerja yang tepat untuk melengkapi kekurangan tersebut, sehingga ide yang sederhana dapat bertransformasi menjadi struktur bisnis yang tangguh dan kolaboratif. Dampak dari pemikiran Sirolli telah melampaui batas-batas geografi, membangkitkan kembali ekonomi kota-kota kecil dari Australia hingga Amerika Utara dengan cara memanusiakan proses kewirausahaan. Ia memandang kewirausahaan bukan sekadar angka atau rencana bisnis, melainkan sebuah "tindakan cinta" (act of love) dan manifestasi dari hasrat mendalam manusia. Dengan menggeser fokus dari pemberian modal fisik ke pemberdayaan kapasitas mental dan pembangunan tim, Sirolli membuktikan bahwa potensi ekonomi terbesar suatu daerah tidak terletak pada sumber daya alamnya, melainkan pada talenta warganya yang sering kali tersembunyi. Pada akhirnya, filosofi Sirolli mengajarkan kita bahwa untuk membangun masa depan yang makmur, kita hanya perlu memiliki kerendahan hati untuk bertanya dan kesabaran untuk mendengarkan.

Original Episode Transcript FollowsStephanie Hansen:Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space. And also today, we're going to talk travel, because whenever I travel, food's always a big part of it. I'm here with my friend Michael Kenny, and he owns the travel agency Defined Destinations. And Michael and I met and have gone on a number of trips. We've gone to Croatia together. We're just about to embark on Turkey. We are also planning a new trip that we just launched, that is a trip to South Africa. And a lot of times the best way to get people excited about these trips is to talk about them.And Michael does more than that. He scouts them out for me first. So, Michael, you went to this trip?Michael Kenney:I did. I'm your personal scout, but I love it. There's not a. There's not a better deal than being able to do that and then going on with you and Kurt and with everybody else. So we've had some fun adventures. But, yes, I recently got back with my family. We went scouted this South Africa trip out, or Southern Africa, I should say that we visit four different countries. And it was.I've been on a safari before, but it was in. In Kenya, which was fabulous as well. But this is a whole different experience. So I brought my wife and my two kids, and we had one of the best experiences, from seeing Cape Town to Johannesburg and then all the wildlife, different lodges and on boats. So we do all these different sorts of transportation and see four different countries. And it was unbelievable. I came back really, really excited. I was excited in the beginning, but having gone on it and then really first experiencing it firsthand was phenomenal.And. And I knew you and Kurt would love it. And of course, everyone that follows you as well. It was just. It's really a trip of a lifetime.Stephanie Hansen:So we put the trip out there. It is a more expensive trip, and we had a limited number of seats we had that could join the trip. And, you know, I've never done a trip that is on the higher end like that in terms of expense. And you're just. You have a lot of in flight situations within the country. You have a lot of different lodging situations. There's a boat, like, in order to do all the things we wanted to do, there were a lot of moving parts.Michael Kenney:Yep.Stephanie Hansen:So we put the trip out there and it sold out, like, right away. Right. So then Michael was like, okay, do we want to try and do another one? And of course we do, because I want you guys to have as many of these experiences as we can put together. Because I think traveling this way is great. I love traveling in a group for destinations that maybe I'm not comfortable in fully by myself. So Michael has secured another trip, a second round that is the same itinerary, but they leave. I think it's a day later.Michael Kenney:Yes. And let me just touch on that. You hit some good points in there. Yeah. One reason the trip, it's, it's. It's definitely at the highest price point we've ever offered a trip. But I think if you're going out there and you're shopping in African safari, you see that as well. So the value is there with all the different.Essentially all the meals are included where we're at on, on this trip, the inner flights inside the countries as well. From a couple smaller bush planes to the larger flights that go from Cape Town to Johannesburg, Johannesburg up towards Victoria Falls, etc. Those are already included in all the transfers. And this is a different trip too, Stephanie, because it's not like a typical motor coach group that you're going with all these big lodges and motor coaches coming in. This trip is. Can only take 16 people. It's not because we design it that way, it's the ship only handles 16 people. So if you go on our website, you take a look at it, you'll see this small intimate cruiser on this river slash lake, Lake Kariba, which is part of the Zambezi.Stephanie Hansen's @StephaniesDish Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Michael Kenney:And in the game lodge that we stayed at too for four nights as well there, there's only eight cabins for 16 people. So it's a real intimate experience and it will only be for our group. Same thing for your departure on May 8 and the 1 that we still have, there's only. We just sold one another cabin online just, just now. So there's four cabins left May 9th through the 25th of 2027. Same thing is gonna be true for that. It's only gonna be our group as well. So there's no other groups going to be in, on, on the ship and then in the lodge too.Michael Kenney:So it's a real small intimate experience and it's just real, real lovely.Stephanie Hansen:Can you walk us through like some of the high points having done this trip?Michael Kenney:Yeah. Oh, what do you start? I think this is just. Sometimes you use the word potpourri too much, but it's, it's really a bit of different. You know, you think you go to Africa just for the safari itself, but we go in and we visit Cape Town and Cape Town blew me away. It was one of the most beautiful cities and I'm not necessarily a city person, but it was just beautiful sitting under Table Mountain. We'll go up to Table Mountain, we'll go visit the areas around it, we'll go visit some vineyards. South African wine is to die for. We'll visit that.We have a wine tasting included. We get to see penguins on this penguin beach in South Africa, which I didn't know there was penguins in, in South Africa. So we're actually good to go see those. And you actually get up pretty close too, so that was a real highlight. Nelson Mandela's home in the prison, we're going to go visit that. So we have a cultural experience as well. But then we fly into Johannesburg. We'll get to hear the history in Johannesburg for a night.And then we fly further north and we go into the. Our game lodge. We spend for four days right on the Zambezi River. You'll absolutely love this place. You're. You're really well taken care of. You eat really well and you see the wildlife all around you right from your lodge. You sit in your plunge pool and there could be hippos down below you.It's incredible. It's just a real amazing experience. And then we fly to Lake Kariba, we get on the boat itself and we have four nights again. There's just 16 of us total. And it's. This is where it's really different. You glide up into shore and there can be elephants, giraffes, lions feeding in the water itself. It's.This isn't a zoo. This is incredible. You are right there with it. That a real slow experience. You're really able to take it in. So I invite, you know, anybody that's watching this to go online. Just take a look at our photos. It's free to do that and we pride ourselves.The majority of all the photos on it were taken while on the trip, especially with me and my family. So you'll get to really see what it really was, was like. So say you've done a trip to Tanzania or Kenya and have done a safari. This is. This is different. You see four different countries. It's a slower pace, smaller groups. It lovely.So those are really the experiences that I enjoyed the most, were the penguins seeing around Cape Town. Of course, the different game drives all the different wildlife. Victoria Falls, which is one of the most stunning waterfalls you'll ever see. It was. It was really enlightening and it was fabulous and everything's taken care of for you. So to Be able to do something on this on your own. To do the same trip would be really difficult. Putting all the flights together, the meals, what are we going to do? We've taken care of all of that.All you have to do essentially is register for the trip and then we can help you with getting international airfare when it does come available later in the summer for this May 9th through the 25th, 2027 trip. So it, it was just an amazing experience.Stephanie Hansen:So can you talk a little bit about the food? Because I have no idea what African food is going to be like.Michael Kenney:Yeah, I, I think this, it's not like we're out eating street food, you know, in some of the villages we're not doing that. It's all in a controlled environment from the salads to things like that because you want to drink bottled water. We never got sick while on the trip itself, but it's, it's real, it's westernized, let's say that. So a lot of meat and potatoes and fish and different things like that. So there won't be anything a little bit, I think outside of your comfort zone. So I, we really, really. Well, like lots of beef, chicken, sometimes there'd be lamb, but you can have choices too. So they're really great with diets with that.But again, the food was really safe. Nothing too exotic. You have a chance. Maybe you want to try ostrich or something like that. You can do that. But it's a real, it's really high level too. Especially at the lodges and the boats itself. All sit down plated meals.Really, really nice. But again it's, it's, it's safer on the meat and potato side on that. But it's, it's really nice high end food which you'll, I think I, I know you'll enjoy.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And was there different fruit?Michael Kenney:Yeah, some of the fruits, I can't remember. You'd be like, well, what is that? I don't know. Honestly, I wish I had the list on there. Like, well, what is that? Well, let's, let's try it. If you're in the markets and things like that. But they, they do, especially in the mornings they'll bring some fruits on, on the plate and you'll have, you're like, well what? And you just try it. So yeah, I'm not really good to help you on that. I'm sorry.No, but it's there exotic fruits wheneverStephanie Hansen:we're traveling because we went to Thailand together. We've been to Vietnam, Cambodia, whenever we're Traveling in these countries, there's always fruits that I've never, I don't even know what they are like. I'm just always amazed by how many fruits there are in the world.Michael Kenney:Yeah, it's crazy. Like I said, you go through and you're like, what is that? Especially on our Vietnam, Cambodia trip here, it's, that's, that's really exotic with the food. This is a little bit different, but yeah, we're in the southern hemisphere, right down to the Cape of Good Hope, which you'll actually see too. So you see different, different foods for sure, so they'll point that out too. But it's. The main course is definitely not exotic, but you'll see some really neat, neat, different fruits, things like that.Stephanie Hansen:We talked about South African wines, so I'm glad we're doing that because that was a blast. So this second itinerary leaves a day later. Will there ever be an opportunity where I will overlap and interact with the second? It's kind of hard to tell at this point.Michael Kenney:Yeah, it, it really is. And we'll know a little bit more later on because we're in, in contact because we'll have they. The ships. We have two different ships on it and it's just a day apart, like you said. But we're in the lodge for four days. Our lodges are different, they're close by. But we're working on trying to see maybe if we get a couple game drives together, maybe maybe a meal somewhere that we could see each other once or twice during, or maybe even three times with Cape Town too, that we could run into each other as well. So if you decide to book, because you won't be on the second trip, the second departure, we're hoping two or three times we'll be able to, to, to run in each other.But again, it's not guaranteed. But we're very hopeful because both of the ships are completely ours. So I'm sure we can, we can do a little overlapping in our two lodge stays. They're relatively close, but they're, they're different from each other. So we might be able to pop in and visit each other maybe for a happy hour on one of our boats, because each lodge has got like its own beautiful pontoon to go out and go look at the wildlife and we might run into that too, but. Yeah, but other than that, and you're not being on the second one, their tenders are the same, just different lodges. And they're both very, very amazing, high quality lodges. And again, if you go Online, you can see both the different boats and the lodges too, which you'll absolutely love.Stephanie Hansen:I love too, Michael, that you actually took these trips. When I travel with you, you're very upfront about what, you know, what, you don't know. We get in country guides if we need more expertise, and a lot of times you want that because you want a local person to share with you the local feel of the place and to give you information based on their perspective of living there or being familiar with the country.Michael Kenney:Yeah, I think that that's, that's, that's really important. People want to not just get the information to make sure it's correct, but just like what's life like being you're from Namibia or Zimbabwe or South Africa and we have these local guides. We have, you know, the folks with us in the lodge and when we're doing the game drives a professional that will tell you, you know, what you're seeing, how they, you know, migration or whatever they're doing and what they consume, all of that. So you've got that, that credibility too. So we have that throughout, from our city guides to our, our on land folks as well. You'll really get that expertise. So you'll, you'll come back feeling, you know, about the people itself, which there's. We could have different podcast talking about that.I loved it. And then, you know, the animals that you're going to sing like, oh, I didn't know. It's, it's a really educational but rewarding, relaxing trip as well, which you, you, I know you'll, you'll enjoy.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. And people say that the African people are like just fabulous.Michael Kenney:They are it. And again, I've been to Africa a few times not, not to, to these parts. The people are wonderful. And I don't know if you're going to bring it up, but the languages. So revisiting different four countries and, and they, they speak different dialects of in. In the different countries and different languages as well, from English to African and wherever, you know, from where their group is from. But they use English as kind of the common language. So you'll.If we have a little overlap with some of our guides from Namibia to Botswana, they're going to speak English with each other, which was. I was like, oh, wow. I didn't, you know, really realize that. So the language is never a problem. Everything's in English. Even in. Through all of the countries visited. You would see the road signs.It's all in English, which was like, oh, wow, that's interesting. But then you get to hear them speaking with each other, their languages and they'll talk about that too. But I was, I was really surprised about the whole language situation being it really a lot of English.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I'm excited about that. Okay, so when we say expensive, can you just say on the podcast how much the trip is? Because I don't want people not to explore it.Michael Kenney:Oh yeah.Stephanie Hansen:You get so many things and a lot of people that are, you know, TV hosts and that sort of thing are hosting week long trips places and they cost more than this trip costs.Michael Kenney:So yeah, for the, for the land only per person It's $12,000. And so you, other than that you just need to get your international airfare to and from South Africa. And we have that all written down if you want to look at and for it yourself. But like I mentioned earlier, rates don't come out availability about 10 months prior to departure. So it'll be sometime later this summer, maybe in July that you'll start seeing what rates would be to fly into to Cape Town with that. But again the value is really there. It's typically double the price that we usually have for our trips going to Europe and other places like that. But I think if you go through it and if you've done your research, if you've looked at trips to Africa before, you'll see the value there with all the, all the flights, all the meals, all that included and it, like you said it, it's sold out right away.People I think understand that too. And we only have a few cabins left on the second departure so hopefully you're able to join it. But take a look at the website again, it's free to do that. Look at all the things that we offer, all the inclusions. I think everyone will see the value there for sure.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I was just noticing another person going somewhere for a week and it was like 15,000. And I was like, wait, we're going to Africa, we're doing all of this great stuff, all the meals are included, it's over, it's two week long trip and we're going on all these game drives. Like this is more than maybe most people would spend on a vacation. But like for a trip of a lifetime it's very, I thought really well priced. And I went and looked at Nat Geo. I looked at some of the other trips were actually cheaper than those too.Michael Kenney:Yeah. And I think a lot of people are just looking when you, you first look at it too, you want to make sure you're comparing apples to Apple. So, you know, we encourage you to go out there and shop and look at other companies because I know you'll come back and you'll see our value. A lot of them are just maybe doing similar game drives that we're doing, but they're not including like Cape Town in it and we are, which is huge. Again, you might not be a city person, but you're gonna love Cape Town. Not just the city itself, the drives around there, going to, to see the penguins and to go up into the area where the, the vineyards are, it's abso stunning. So there's a lot to it. So I encourage everybody to take a look and you'll again see the value and all the different experiences you'll haveStephanie Hansen:on this trip and the vibes. Because I'll be there on the first trip, hopefully I'll get to overlap with you on the second trip. I don't want to make any promises we can't keep, but I feel good that I'll see you at least once and then we can like talk about all the stuff that we saw when we get back. So it's going to be just great vibes.Michael Kenney:Exactly. And I already know the majority of the people that from previous trips that have already booked the second departure. So if you're thinking about it, I'm looking at the name list. There's some really good people on this, on this trip. So you're going to have fun. You'll have a great guides throughout. So it's yes, they won't have you incurred on the trip, which is sad, but I think at the same time you're really going to love, if you're going for this experience, you're absolutely going to love it for sure. And we encourage.Send an email to us. Give me a call. I'd be happy to talk to you about the trip itself. But again, having just a few cabins left, I know this one will sell out too. So if you're on the fence again, give me a call, send me an email. I'd be happy to get you on it because this will be our Last one for 2027, so we'd love to have anybody else join.Stephanie Hansen:I'll put all that information in the podcast release. Also, it pays to be traveler with us because we have a pretty good list now of people that are repeat travelers and I think that says a lot about you as someone coordinating these trips. I think it says a lot about me as someone that is fun to go on these trips with, like we have someone that's coming up on, this will be their fourth trip with us. They're, they're high end experiences, they're fun. We don't take ourselves too seriously. We have a good time. The pacing is right. If you need to peel off because you need a day to just relax, you can usually do that at the different places.It really, I, I feel like while we're leading a trip, we also understand it's your trip, not ours. So if you need to do, you know, like, I remember when we did a cooking class, Lori standing up on the bus and saying, well, who wants to do that? And everyone went except for her. And then Kurt went with her, so she wasn't alone. But again, if the cooking class isn't your jam, then you can find some way to do something else. So just to see a good time?Michael Kenney:No, it is if this is your vacation. But I honestly think everything that's in this itinerary, you're going to want to, to join in. And again, this is a relaxed pace too. But sometimes we have some earlier game drives to, to go see the animals that are out there early in the morning, which you want to do. But then we'll usually have the afternoon free that you can go into your plunge pool, sit by one of the beautiful trees and have having a cocktail or something like that. So it's really relaxed as well and you have time to take it in and I think that's really important. Sometimes everything's just go, go, go and see how much you can see and do. I mean, we are, we're going, but we still have that time to sit back and relax.And that's what's really fun about even being on the ship. Second, because we're moving around and, and popping into small little bays and seeing when animals come up through these savannahs. It's stunning. You're like, you're in the comfort of a beautiful boat and you're going up and there's, you know, elephants coming down to water, which I loved, or the hippos just down below you. We go fishing one time or a couple times, whatever we want to do. And just the wildlife around you. And it's like, oh, I'm not in a Minnesota northern lake right now. It's, it's pretty spectacular.Michael Kenney:So, Kurt, no swimming off the boat, please. Unlike Kariba with, with knowing, uh, there's a tiger fish in there. There's these world famous fish that people like to fish for, the sharp teeth, but it's more so you got to watch out for those hippos. Of course.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Are there crocodiles?Michael Kenney:Yes, there are. So, yes, there's the crocodiles and the hippos in there. So don't go in the water.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Michael Kenney:But it's fun to be on our big boat, so it's, it's safe and you get up really up close to everything, which is super cool.Stephanie Hansen:All right, well, I'm looking forward to it, Michael. Again, I'll put all the information in the podcast notes here. Thanks for joining us and I'll see you. Well, I won't see you tomorrow because I'm leaving for Turkey a few days early because I like to get there and get fresh before you guys all arrive so that I have a personality. But I'll see you in a couple days in Turkey.Michael Kenney:That sounds great. Thanks so much, Stephanie.Stephanie Hansen:Okay, bye.

Original Episode Transcript FollowsStephanie Hansen:Hello, everybody, and welcome to Dishing with Stephanie's Dish, the podcast where we talk to people in the food space. And also today, we're going to talk travel, because whenever I travel, food's always a big part of it. I'm here with my friend Michael Kenny, and he owns the travel agency Defined Destinations. And Michael and I met and have gone on a number of trips. We've gone to Croatia together. We're just about to embark on Turkey. We are also planning a new trip that we just launched, that is a trip to South Africa. And a lot of times the best way to get people excited about these trips is to talk about them.And Michael does more than that. He scouts them out for me first. So, Michael, you went to this trip?Michael Kenney:I did. I'm your personal scout, but I love it. There's not a. There's not a better deal than being able to do that and then going on with you and Kurt and with everybody else. So we've had some fun adventures. But, yes, I recently got back with my family. We went scouted this South Africa trip out, or Southern Africa, I should say that we visit four different countries. And it was.I've been on a safari before, but it was in. In Kenya, which was fabulous as well. But this is a whole different experience. So I brought my wife and my two kids, and we had one of the best experiences, from seeing Cape Town to Johannesburg and then all the wildlife, different lodges and on boats. So we do all these different sorts of transportation and see four different countries. And it was unbelievable. I came back really, really excited. I was excited in the beginning, but having gone on it and then really first experiencing it firsthand was phenomenal.And. And I knew you and Kurt would love it. And of course, everyone that follows you as well. It was just. It's really a trip of a lifetime.Stephanie Hansen:So we put the trip out there. It is a more expensive trip, and we had a limited number of seats we had that could join the trip. And, you know, I've never done a trip that is on the higher end like that in terms of expense. And you're just. You have a lot of in flight situations within the country. You have a lot of different lodging situations. There's a boat, like, in order to do all the things we wanted to do, there were a lot of moving parts.Michael Kenney:Yep.Stephanie Hansen:So we put the trip out there and it sold out, like, right away. Right. So then Michael was like, okay, do we want to try and do another one? And of course we do, because I want you guys to have as many of these experiences as we can put together. Because I think traveling this way is great. I love traveling in a group for destinations that maybe I'm not comfortable in fully by myself. So Michael has secured another trip, a second round that is the same itinerary, but they leave. I think it's a day later.Michael Kenney:Yes. And let me just touch on that. You hit some good points in there. Yeah. One reason the trip, it's, it's. It's definitely at the highest price point we've ever offered a trip. But I think if you're going out there and you're shopping in African safari, you see that as well. So the value is there with all the different.Essentially all the meals are included where we're at on, on this trip, the inner flights inside the countries as well. From a couple smaller bush planes to the larger flights that go from Cape Town to Johannesburg, Johannesburg up towards Victoria Falls, etc. Those are already included in all the transfers. And this is a different trip too, Stephanie, because it's not like a typical motor coach group that you're going with all these big lodges and motor coaches coming in. This trip is. Can only take 16 people. It's not because we design it that way, it's the ship only handles 16 people. So if you go on our website, you take a look at it, you'll see this small intimate cruiser on this river slash lake, Lake Kariba, which is part of the Zambezi.Stephanie Hansen's @StephaniesDish Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Michael Kenney:And in the game lodge that we stayed at too for four nights as well there, there's only eight cabins for 16 people. So it's a real intimate experience and it will only be for our group. Same thing for your departure on May 8 and the 1 that we still have, there's only. We just sold one another cabin online just, just now. So there's four cabins left May 9th through the 25th of 2027. Same thing is gonna be true for that. It's only gonna be our group as well. So there's no other groups going to be in, on, on the ship and then in the lodge too.Michael Kenney:So it's a real small intimate experience and it's just real, real lovely.Stephanie Hansen:Can you walk us through like some of the high points having done this trip?Michael Kenney:Yeah. Oh, what do you start? I think this is just. Sometimes you use the word potpourri too much, but it's, it's really a bit of different. You know, you think you go to Africa just for the safari itself, but we go in and we visit Cape Town and Cape Town blew me away. It was one of the most beautiful cities and I'm not necessarily a city person, but it was just beautiful sitting under Table Mountain. We'll go up to Table Mountain, we'll go visit the areas around it, we'll go visit some vineyards. South African wine is to die for. We'll visit that.We have a wine tasting included. We get to see penguins on this penguin beach in South Africa, which I didn't know there was penguins in, in South Africa. So we're actually good to go see those. And you actually get up pretty close too, so that was a real highlight. Nelson Mandela's home in the prison, we're going to go visit that. So we have a cultural experience as well. But then we fly into Johannesburg. We'll get to hear the history in Johannesburg for a night.And then we fly further north and we go into the. Our game lodge. We spend for four days right on the Zambezi River. You'll absolutely love this place. You're. You're really well taken care of. You eat really well and you see the wildlife all around you right from your lodge. You sit in your plunge pool and there could be hippos down below you.It's incredible. It's just a real amazing experience. And then we fly to Lake Kariba, we get on the boat itself and we have four nights again. There's just 16 of us total. And it's. This is where it's really different. You glide up into shore and there can be elephants, giraffes, lions feeding in the water itself. It's.This isn't a zoo. This is incredible. You are right there with it. That a real slow experience. You're really able to take it in. So I invite, you know, anybody that's watching this to go online. Just take a look at our photos. It's free to do that and we pride ourselves.The majority of all the photos on it were taken while on the trip, especially with me and my family. So you'll get to really see what it really was, was like. So say you've done a trip to Tanzania or Kenya and have done a safari. This is. This is different. You see four different countries. It's a slower pace, smaller groups. It lovely.So those are really the experiences that I enjoyed the most, were the penguins seeing around Cape Town. Of course, the different game drives all the different wildlife. Victoria Falls, which is one of the most stunning waterfalls you'll ever see. It was. It was really enlightening and it was fabulous and everything's taken care of for you. So to Be able to do something on this on your own. To do the same trip would be really difficult. Putting all the flights together, the meals, what are we going to do? We've taken care of all of that.All you have to do essentially is register for the trip and then we can help you with getting international airfare when it does come available later in the summer for this May 9th through the 25th, 2027 trip. So it, it was just an amazing experience.Stephanie Hansen:So can you talk a little bit about the food? Because I have no idea what African food is going to be like.Michael Kenney:Yeah, I, I think this, it's not like we're out eating street food, you know, in some of the villages we're not doing that. It's all in a controlled environment from the salads to things like that because you want to drink bottled water. We never got sick while on the trip itself, but it's, it's real, it's westernized, let's say that. So a lot of meat and potatoes and fish and different things like that. So there won't be anything a little bit, I think outside of your comfort zone. So I, we really, really. Well, like lots of beef, chicken, sometimes there'd be lamb, but you can have choices too. So they're really great with diets with that.But again, the food was really safe. Nothing too exotic. You have a chance. Maybe you want to try ostrich or something like that. You can do that. But it's a real, it's really high level too. Especially at the lodges and the boats itself. All sit down plated meals.Really, really nice. But again it's, it's, it's safer on the meat and potato side on that. But it's, it's really nice high end food which you'll, I think I, I know you'll enjoy.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. And was there different fruit?Michael Kenney:Yeah, some of the fruits, I can't remember. You'd be like, well, what is that? I don't know. Honestly, I wish I had the list on there. Like, well, what is that? Well, let's, let's try it. If you're in the markets and things like that. But they, they do, especially in the mornings they'll bring some fruits on, on the plate and you'll have, you're like, well what? And you just try it. So yeah, I'm not really good to help you on that. I'm sorry.No, but it's there exotic fruits wheneverStephanie Hansen:we're traveling because we went to Thailand together. We've been to Vietnam, Cambodia, whenever we're Traveling in these countries, there's always fruits that I've never, I don't even know what they are like. I'm just always amazed by how many fruits there are in the world.Michael Kenney:Yeah, it's crazy. Like I said, you go through and you're like, what is that? Especially on our Vietnam, Cambodia trip here, it's, that's, that's really exotic with the food. This is a little bit different, but yeah, we're in the southern hemisphere, right down to the Cape of Good Hope, which you'll actually see too. So you see different, different foods for sure, so they'll point that out too. But it's. The main course is definitely not exotic, but you'll see some really neat, neat, different fruits, things like that.Stephanie Hansen:We talked about South African wines, so I'm glad we're doing that because that was a blast. So this second itinerary leaves a day later. Will there ever be an opportunity where I will overlap and interact with the second? It's kind of hard to tell at this point.Michael Kenney:Yeah, it, it really is. And we'll know a little bit more later on because we're in, in contact because we'll have they. The ships. We have two different ships on it and it's just a day apart, like you said. But we're in the lodge for four days. Our lodges are different, they're close by. But we're working on trying to see maybe if we get a couple game drives together, maybe maybe a meal somewhere that we could see each other once or twice during, or maybe even three times with Cape Town too, that we could run into each other as well. So if you decide to book, because you won't be on the second trip, the second departure, we're hoping two or three times we'll be able to, to, to run in each other.But again, it's not guaranteed. But we're very hopeful because both of the ships are completely ours. So I'm sure we can, we can do a little overlapping in our two lodge stays. They're relatively close, but they're, they're different from each other. So we might be able to pop in and visit each other maybe for a happy hour on one of our boats, because each lodge has got like its own beautiful pontoon to go out and go look at the wildlife and we might run into that too, but. Yeah, but other than that, and you're not being on the second one, their tenders are the same, just different lodges. And they're both very, very amazing, high quality lodges. And again, if you go Online, you can see both the different boats and the lodges too, which you'll absolutely love.Stephanie Hansen:I love too, Michael, that you actually took these trips. When I travel with you, you're very upfront about what, you know, what, you don't know. We get in country guides if we need more expertise, and a lot of times you want that because you want a local person to share with you the local feel of the place and to give you information based on their perspective of living there or being familiar with the country.Michael Kenney:Yeah, I think that that's, that's, that's really important. People want to not just get the information to make sure it's correct, but just like what's life like being you're from Namibia or Zimbabwe or South Africa and we have these local guides. We have, you know, the folks with us in the lodge and when we're doing the game drives a professional that will tell you, you know, what you're seeing, how they, you know, migration or whatever they're doing and what they consume, all of that. So you've got that, that credibility too. So we have that throughout, from our city guides to our, our on land folks as well. You'll really get that expertise. So you'll, you'll come back feeling, you know, about the people itself, which there's. We could have different podcast talking about that.I loved it. And then, you know, the animals that you're going to sing like, oh, I didn't know. It's, it's a really educational but rewarding, relaxing trip as well, which you, you, I know you'll, you'll enjoy.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. And people say that the African people are like just fabulous.Michael Kenney:They are it. And again, I've been to Africa a few times not, not to, to these parts. The people are wonderful. And I don't know if you're going to bring it up, but the languages. So revisiting different four countries and, and they, they speak different dialects of in. In the different countries and different languages as well, from English to African and wherever, you know, from where their group is from. But they use English as kind of the common language. So you'll.If we have a little overlap with some of our guides from Namibia to Botswana, they're going to speak English with each other, which was. I was like, oh, wow. I didn't, you know, really realize that. So the language is never a problem. Everything's in English. Even in. Through all of the countries visited. You would see the road signs.It's all in English, which was like, oh, wow, that's interesting. But then you get to hear them speaking with each other, their languages and they'll talk about that too. But I was, I was really surprised about the whole language situation being it really a lot of English.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I'm excited about that. Okay, so when we say expensive, can you just say on the podcast how much the trip is? Because I don't want people not to explore it.Michael Kenney:Oh yeah.Stephanie Hansen:You get so many things and a lot of people that are, you know, TV hosts and that sort of thing are hosting week long trips places and they cost more than this trip costs.Michael Kenney:So yeah, for the, for the land only per person It's $12,000. And so you, other than that you just need to get your international airfare to and from South Africa. And we have that all written down if you want to look at and for it yourself. But like I mentioned earlier, rates don't come out availability about 10 months prior to departure. So it'll be sometime later this summer, maybe in July that you'll start seeing what rates would be to fly into to Cape Town with that. But again the value is really there. It's typically double the price that we usually have for our trips going to Europe and other places like that. But I think if you go through it and if you've done your research, if you've looked at trips to Africa before, you'll see the value there with all the, all the flights, all the meals, all that included and it, like you said it, it's sold out right away.People I think understand that too. And we only have a few cabins left on the second departure so hopefully you're able to join it. But take a look at the website again, it's free to do that. Look at all the things that we offer, all the inclusions. I think everyone will see the value there for sure.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah, I was just noticing another person going somewhere for a week and it was like 15,000. And I was like, wait, we're going to Africa, we're doing all of this great stuff, all the meals are included, it's over, it's two week long trip and we're going on all these game drives. Like this is more than maybe most people would spend on a vacation. But like for a trip of a lifetime it's very, I thought really well priced. And I went and looked at Nat Geo. I looked at some of the other trips were actually cheaper than those too.Michael Kenney:Yeah. And I think a lot of people are just looking when you, you first look at it too, you want to make sure you're comparing apples to Apple. So, you know, we encourage you to go out there and shop and look at other companies because I know you'll come back and you'll see our value. A lot of them are just maybe doing similar game drives that we're doing, but they're not including like Cape Town in it and we are, which is huge. Again, you might not be a city person, but you're gonna love Cape Town. Not just the city itself, the drives around there, going to, to see the penguins and to go up into the area where the, the vineyards are, it's abso stunning. So there's a lot to it. So I encourage everybody to take a look and you'll again see the value and all the different experiences you'll haveStephanie Hansen:on this trip and the vibes. Because I'll be there on the first trip, hopefully I'll get to overlap with you on the second trip. I don't want to make any promises we can't keep, but I feel good that I'll see you at least once and then we can like talk about all the stuff that we saw when we get back. So it's going to be just great vibes.Michael Kenney:Exactly. And I already know the majority of the people that from previous trips that have already booked the second departure. So if you're thinking about it, I'm looking at the name list. There's some really good people on this, on this trip. So you're going to have fun. You'll have a great guides throughout. So it's yes, they won't have you incurred on the trip, which is sad, but I think at the same time you're really going to love, if you're going for this experience, you're absolutely going to love it for sure. And we encourage.Send an email to us. Give me a call. I'd be happy to talk to you about the trip itself. But again, having just a few cabins left, I know this one will sell out too. So if you're on the fence again, give me a call, send me an email. I'd be happy to get you on it because this will be our Last one for 2027, so we'd love to have anybody else join.Stephanie Hansen:I'll put all that information in the podcast release. Also, it pays to be traveler with us because we have a pretty good list now of people that are repeat travelers and I think that says a lot about you as someone coordinating these trips. I think it says a lot about me as someone that is fun to go on these trips with, like we have someone that's coming up on, this will be their fourth trip with us. They're, they're high end experiences, they're fun. We don't take ourselves too seriously. We have a good time. The pacing is right. If you need to peel off because you need a day to just relax, you can usually do that at the different places.It really, I, I feel like while we're leading a trip, we also understand it's your trip, not ours. So if you need to do, you know, like, I remember when we did a cooking class, Lori standing up on the bus and saying, well, who wants to do that? And everyone went except for her. And then Kurt went with her, so she wasn't alone. But again, if the cooking class isn't your jam, then you can find some way to do something else. So just to see a good time?Michael Kenney:No, it is if this is your vacation. But I honestly think everything that's in this itinerary, you're going to want to, to join in. And again, this is a relaxed pace too. But sometimes we have some earlier game drives to, to go see the animals that are out there early in the morning, which you want to do. But then we'll usually have the afternoon free that you can go into your plunge pool, sit by one of the beautiful trees and have having a cocktail or something like that. So it's really relaxed as well and you have time to take it in and I think that's really important. Sometimes everything's just go, go, go and see how much you can see and do. I mean, we are, we're going, but we still have that time to sit back and relax.And that's what's really fun about even being on the ship. Second, because we're moving around and, and popping into small little bays and seeing when animals come up through these savannahs. It's stunning. You're like, you're in the comfort of a beautiful boat and you're going up and there's, you know, elephants coming down to water, which I loved, or the hippos just down below you. We go fishing one time or a couple times, whatever we want to do. And just the wildlife around you. And it's like, oh, I'm not in a Minnesota northern lake right now. It's, it's pretty spectacular.Michael Kenney:So, Kurt, no swimming off the boat, please. Unlike Kariba with, with knowing, uh, there's a tiger fish in there. There's these world famous fish that people like to fish for, the sharp teeth, but it's more so you got to watch out for those hippos. Of course.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah. Are there crocodiles?Michael Kenney:Yes, there are. So, yes, there's the crocodiles and the hippos in there. So don't go in the water.Stephanie Hansen:Yeah.Michael Kenney:But it's fun to be on our big boat, so it's, it's safe and you get up really up close to everything, which is super cool.Stephanie Hansen:All right, well, I'm looking forward to it, Michael. Again, I'll put all the information in the podcast notes here. Thanks for joining us and I'll see you. Well, I won't see you tomorrow because I'm leaving for Turkey a few days early because I like to get there and get fresh before you guys all arrive so that I have a personality. But I'll see you in a couple days in Turkey.Michael Kenney:That sounds great. Thanks so much, Stephanie.Stephanie Hansen:Okay, bye.

Die gesondheidsministerie sê die onlangse toename in malariagevalle in die Zambezi-streek word vererger deur mense wat vroeë simptome ignoreer. Namibië het meer as 8 600 gevalle aangeteken, meestal plaaslik oorgedra, met 338 hospitalisasies en agt sterftes. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die woordvoerder van die ministerie, Walters Kamaya, gepraat, wat waarsku dat vroeë reën en oorstromings infeksies verhoog en mense aangespoor het om onmiddellik mediese hulp te soek.

Katima Mulilo ervaar steeds beduidende oorstromings wat veroorsaak word deur beide swaar reënval en die stygende Zambezi-rivier.

 Imagine tuning a radio time-machine dial between the past and present of the Zambezi River valley; birds weave a tapestry in and out of the soundscape as static, magnetic drift, crosstalk and interference rise and fall with the signals in the atmosphere. The foundation of this mix, an original recording in the Pitt Rivers Museum collection, is a radio broadcast of singing and drumming by an unidentified group circa 1965, in the first years of Zambia's independence and the period of transition from colonial broadcasting structures to a national network. The available information is minimal; a single scrap of paper tells us the recording is "starring Stephen & Pio". During the copying process one of the reels of tape was accidentally overprinted, so that one track runs backwards while another simultaneously runs forward. In my reimagined mix this glitch leads us through history and memory, the reversed rhythms of backwards magnetic tape conducting an aural transition back into the past.  In the 1970s the government and the people supported the Black majorities in neighbouring countries who were engaged in armed struggles against oppressive white settler regimes. Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, acted as the headquarters for clandestine shortwave radio broadcasts supporting these wars of African liberation. In transmissions of solidarity and strategy sent across borders, the sound of gunfire was a form of station identification, heard here among victory celebrations and swarming mosquitoes. Collectivities float across the airwaves: clouds of insects, armies and colonies and communities of people, soloist and chorus in call and response, the undercurrent of winds and rivers, flocks of birds. For the Tonga of Southern Province, birds are associated with spirits and the women who perform rainmaking rituals with them. Tuning into the Zambezi Valley in the 2020s, we catch voices of women's empowerment amidst fragments of an ongoing community radio revitalization movement. New volunteer-run stations are broadcasting on FM in areas where Internet and cell phone service are sketchy or nonexistent, but most households own at least one radio. Questions asked by Brooklyn College anthropology students are answered by students and radio producers in the Zambezi Valley in an exchange of audio letters, part of a co-production with Claudia Wegener (a.k.a. radio continental drift).

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-104-gavin-lesterPodcast #104 features the funny and super talented Gavin Lester, partner and CCO at Zambezi advertising.Gavin is the fourth in our series of America specials and brought not just great stories, but as the episode progressed, we realised he and Dan had been to school together which was hilarious. What's more, he and Hugh knew each other from BBH days in London when Gavin and Ant (his partner at the time) were running through walls with Jonathan Glazer for Levi's.The bulk of our chat was around Liquid I.V. and the Times Square takeover - one of the most audacious stunts ever attempted in this iconic space. Every digital billboard was synced to displayed an ‘error' message to mimic a dehydration ‘glitch'. And then at exactly 4:00 p.m.—rebranded as ‘I.V. O'Clock' —the screens refreshed to a vibrant brand display while 50 Kiwibot robots distributed samples to the crowd.We also discussed the Traeger Wood Fired Grills campaign, which turned a billboard into a ‘Grillboard', (vegetarians may want to skip this bit) Each day, an animal disappeared from the farm below the billboard and showed up in all its delicious glory on the ‘Grillboard.' Amplified on social media and with tonnes of pr, this single Grillboard pulled nearly every marketing lever and won a shit ton of awards.We talked about Gavin's art too, which is f***ing cool. Highly conceptual, witty, provocative - much like the man himself - we hope one day to own ‘A Lester'. For now we managed a selfie with the artist, adman and lovable chap.Thanks so much Gav for coming on, it was a blast. Look us up next time you're over.And as ever, huge thanks to all our sponsors, who make the show possible:Bauer Media OutdoorView2FillSuper OptimalGAS Music

Gemengde reaksies volg op voormalige Botswana-president Mokgweetsi Masisi wat om verskoning gevra het vir die moord op die Nchindo-broers en hul neef op die Chobe-rivier in 2020 deur lede van die Botswana weermag. Geaffekteerde gemeenskappe sê die gebaar slaag nie en doen 'n beroep op dringende gesprekke tussen Namibië en Botswana oor beweerde "skiet-om-te-dood"-voorvalle langs die gemeenskaplike grens in die Zambezi-streek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met politieke ontleder Ndumba Kamwanyah gepraat wat sê die tyd het aangebreek vir beide regerings om gesamentlik met grensgemeenskappe te skakel en hul bekommernisse direk aan te spreek.

In this episode Johan and Luke have a conversation about the Lower Zambezi and why it's become one of Wild Eye's key safari destinations over the past few years. The discussion covers how the partnership with Classic Zambia came together, what makes the camps work for photographers, and why this place has quietly overtaken South Luangwa as Zambia's premier photographic destination.They talk about those intense first trips that left everyone shellshocked, the guides who understand photographers and will stay out all day when the moment demands it, and some wild sighting stories, including leopards killing crocodiles in the river. The conversation touches on October's heat, the ethics of getting the shot, and why that winter-thorn forest backdrop makes Lower Zambezi special. Plus why you need to get on the water at least once, even if it means skipping a game drive.Visit the Wild Eye website: https://wild-eye.comView our Lower Zambezi safaris: https://wild-eye.com/photographic-travel/lower-zambezi-photo-safari/

Hear about travel to the Zambezi Valley in Zimbabwe as the Amateur Traveler talks to Rael Zieve from Keep Travelling Africa about one of his favorite African itineraries. Why should you visit the Zambezi Valley?  Rael says, "Just the landscapes are quite amazing. I think you should go because the landscapes change. There are still people who live very humbly along the river banks, living out of their mud huts in very medieval conditions, and that type of thing. Even today in the 21st century."

It was a great event, a room full of the smartest (and loudest!) in the industry. Elicia Greenberg & Tara Claesgens were our wonderful hosts who made us feel incredibly welcome. The theme was ‘OOH NOW - the last real thing' a poignant topic which resonated with all guests. On the day we had 10 mins each with key speakers and attendees, discovering how things work stateside and what OOH has to look forward to in 2026. Jim Norton from Outfront Media discussed how internal creative teams help clients without agencies make the most of OOH creative. Jim talked about one of the key BtB sponsors, SuperOptimal, and how their tools are helping shape OOH renewals on their ‘perm' bookings. Jim's favourite billboard is for his brother's lawn mower company in Boston: ‘Say no to weeds' Ryan Laul from Talon was in the hot seat next. Ryan is an Ad Club board member and chatted about how these legendary breakfast briefings have changed over the years. We also heard how the Talon Tech Stack is targeting audiences on the go. Grace Teng from Zambezi talked about her agency's successful integrated approach to work, thanks to bringing media back into the building alongside creative. More on this on an upcoming episode, when we chat with CCO Gavin Lester about an incredible Times Square takeover for Liquid IV. Jackie Lyons from Havas discussed the scale of working in the States and the challenges of creating a truly ‘national' OOH campaign … leaning on her experience of cross-board planning for Diageo in Europe. Rhianna Jones from MediaHub talked about the benefits of a business born out of a need for disruption, using OOH as an opportunity for experience. While Mendi Robinson from Lamar chatted about the challenges of supporting clients creatively with many shapes and sizes of screen and units across just their own estate.Huge thanks:Advertising Club of New YorkNewsstand StudiosBauer Media OutdoorView2FillSuper OptimalGAS Music

Excerpt of a lecture for patrons only for 1 year: We explore the tumultuous history of Central Africa, embracing the enormous Congo rainforest, the great rift valleys, the Indian Ocean coast, and the gold fields of the Zambezi basin, as formidable kingdoms—Kongo, the Swahili cities, and the mysterious Great Zimbabwe—emerged in the tropical landscape, adapted to the traumatic incursion of the Portuguese, and eventually struck back against European power, through diplomatic schemes, military struggles, and religious awakenings. This same region of the world produced some of the most remarkable and towering figures in African or world history, such as King Afonso I and Queen Nzingha, as well as many of the first captives to be taken to the New World, including the “twenty-and-odd negroes” that were famously landed at Point Comfort, Virginia, in 1619.

Die polisie in Johannesburg het twee verdagte persone ondervra na die sluipmoord op die mediapersoonlikheid Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock verlede week in die middestad. Stock, 'n direkteur by Imperium Security, is buite die Zambezi-gebou doodgeskiet. Die polisie se woordvoerder, Athlenda Mathe sê die twee is vroeg vanoggend by 'n hostel in Soweto vasgetrek. Sy sê ondersoekbeamptes gaan voort om alle leidrade op te volg om die saak op te los:

Die goewerneur van die Zambezi-streek, Dorothy Kabula, het vanmiddag geweier om 'n petisie van die United Democratic Party te ontvang. Die party wat in 2007 verban is weens sy afskeidingsagenda, wou 'n petisie indien dat die Zambezi-streek, histories bekend as die Caprivi-strook, van die res van Namibië afskei. Kabula sê die partylede moet met hul tradisionele owerhede konsulteer, wat Maandag petisies teen die party en sy afskeidingsideologieë oorhandig het.

WWF Namibië, saam met die Bushman Honey Project en die Kyaramacan-vereniging, lei jongmense in die Bwabwata Nasionale Park in die Zambezi-streek op in volhoubare byeboerdery deur die Klimaataanpassing vir Beskermde Gebiede, of CAPA-projek. Die opleiding rus gemeenskappe toe om korwe te bou, bosbouregulasies te volg en heuning veilig te oes, terwyl mens-dier-konflik verminder en biodiversiteit ondersteun word. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gepraat met Clarence Maungulo, 'n WWF administrateur, wat sê hulle bemagtig die Khwe-gemeenskap.

Die landbouministerie het bevestig dat die uitbreking van Afrika-treksprinkane, wat die eerste keer laat in Oktober aangekondig is, voortduur in talle gebiede in die Zambezi-streek. Die uitbreking kom op 'n kritieke tydstip aangesien ploegwerk in vloedvlaktes en riviervelde reeds begin het, met algemene ploegaktiwiteite wat na verwagting volgende maand sal begin. Die sprinkane word tans in beide die springer- en vliegstadiums waargeneem. Die ministerie se woordvoerder, Simon Nghipandulwa, het 'n opdatering aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gegee.

Ekoloog dr. Peter Cunningham maan dat die insekdoders wat op die sprinkane gebruik word, giftig is. Landbouminister Inge Zamwaani het 'n groot uitbreking van Afrika-treksprinkane in die Zambezi-streek in die parlement aangekondig en gesê spanne is ontplooi om spuitoperasies uit te voer. Cunningham het in dié verband met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gepraat.

'n Groot uitbreking van Afrika-treksprinkane is in die Zambezi-streek aangemeld, wat minstens agt vloedvlaktegebiede affekteer. Landbouminister Inge Zamwaani het die uitbreking in die Nasionale Vergadering aangekondig en gesê die vloedvlaktes van Muyako en Masokotwani is bekende broeiplekke vir die spesie. Die ministerie het spanne ontplooi om spuitoperasies in die geaffekteerde gebiede uit te voer. Zamwaani sê die omvang van die uitbreking vereis wyer samewerking en doen 'n beroep op regeringsinstellings, streeksrade, plaaslike owerhede, die private sektor en tradisionele leiers om reaksiepogings te ondersteun. Zamwaani is aan die woord:

Die stedelike en landelike ontwikkeling-minister, James Sankwasa, verdien volgens kommentators lof vir sy proaktiewe benadering, na hy 'n regsopleidingswerkswinkel vir tradisionele leiers in die Kavango- en Zambezi-streke aangebied het. Die werkswinkel het gefokus op regsbeginsels, geslagsgelykheid en menseregte, met die doel om tradisionele howe met internasionale standaarde in lyn te bring. Prokureur Richard Metcalfe het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesê dat Sankwasa deurgaans werk om landelike leierskap te versterk en gemeenskapskwessies beter aan te spreek.

In 13 years of guiding safaris, Michael Laubscher had never witnessed anything like this. Deep in Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park, a small female leopard found herself face-to-face with one of Africa's most intelligent species - a lone baboon stranded high in a towering winter thorn tree. What followed was an hour-long battle of wits, strategy, and raw survival instinct that defied everything Michael thought he knew about predator behavior. This is the story of the hunt that stopped time, where nature rewrote the rulebook before his very eyes.Visit our website here: https://wild-eye.com/

In 1994, a relaxing fishing trip on the Zambezi River turned into a brutal fight for survival when a hippo attacked a family boat, flipping it in crocodile-infested waters. One man, safari guide Alistair Gellatly, was dragged under by a crocodile and nearly killed. After escaping the predator's jaws, he collapsed on the riverbank. His companions were trapped on a sandbar, mid-river. Both groups were surrounded by top predators. This is their story.SUPPORT THIS PODCAST:  https://linktr.ee/twistedtraveltruecrimepodcast⁠MONTHLY:Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/user?u=42048051&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link⁠Spotify:⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/twisted-travel-and-true-c?ref=radiopublic⁠ONE TIME:Venmo:⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3248826752172032881⁠⁠Paypal:⁠⁠https://www.paypal.me/twistedtravelandTC⁠⁠Social Media Links:⁠https://linktr.ee/twistedtraveltruecrimepodcast⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/twistedtravelandtruecrime⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/twistedtravelandtrue_crime⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@twistedtravelandtruecrim?lang=en⁠Gmail:  ⁠twistedtravelandtruecrime@gmail.com
