In this episode of Dark Outdoors, we sit down with legendary African safari guide and wildlife expert Dave Fulson of Safari Classics and Facts Across Africa to explore some of the continent’s most intense and unforgettable snake encounters.

From heart-pounding close calls with the infamous black mamba—Africa’s fastest and most feared venomous snake—to dangerous encounters with well-camouflaged puff adders and other deadly reptiles, Dave shares firsthand stories from decades spent in the African bush.

Join us for an eye-opening conversation filled with adventure, survival, natural history, and respect for the wild places that make Africa unlike anywhere else on Earth.
