The Snakeman's Lair is finally back! For this re-re-launch I needed a guest who could keep you on the edge of your seats, someone who could provide a perspective on the world of wildlife conservation that most people never get to hear. When I came across Benson Kanyembo, I knew had found the perfect guy.

Benson is the Law Enforcement Advisor at Conservation South Luangwa, one of the most spectacular wilderness jewels Zambia has to offer. However, what looks like a paradise conceals a living hell for the rangers under Benson's command, who put their lives on the line every single day to protect the local wildlife. Ridiculously low salaries, barely any career prospects, and immediate danger to themselves and their families are only a few of the hurdles many wildlife rangers face in Zambia and all across the world. Listening to Benson's story and experiences was truly beyond powerful, and I am honored that he trusted me to relay his wisdom to you.
