Welcome to our new series exploring transformational travel in Africa! In our first episode, James catches up with Stuart as they drive across South Africa in a Tread Lite Jimny from Bonamanzi Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal to Wakkerstroom in Mpumalanga. During their journey through the South African countryside, they each share their three most profound transformational travel experiences in Africa, setting the foundation for this series exploring how Africa changes travellers in ways that go far beyond typical holidays.

Series 8: Introducing Africa’s Transformational Travel Power

Welcome to Inspiring African Travel - the podcast sharing extraordinary African travel stories while honouring those driving positive change across the continent.

Hosted by James Wilson and Stuart Parker, we've explored Africa's incredible diversity across eight seasons and over 50 episodes. From our early series featuring "Women in Travel" and "Local Heroes in Tourism" to "African Travel Tips" and "Transformative Travel in Africa".

More than just travel - we share responsible travel stories, conservation efforts, and community upliftment. Each episode features inspiring conversations with local guides, conservationists, and travel experts who are making a real difference in their space.

In loving memory of our co-founder Julia Spry-Wilson, we've established the Inspiring African Travel Fund, supporting grassroots projects across Ghana, Zanzibar, and Botswana. From coral restoration to wildlife conservation and education initiatives, we're creating lasting positive impact.
