Our Founder

Growing up right next to South Luangwa National Park in Mfuwe gave him a lifelong passion for nature. Although he trained as a civil engineer, his heart remained with conservation. He opened Dave Travel Agency & Tours to share his love for Zambian wildlife with visitors from all over the world.
