In today’s podcast, I talk to professional guide, Dean McGregor. Dean has a vast knowledge of the flora and fauna of his native Zimbabwe. I first met him in early 2020 and spent as much time as I could learning from him.

In this podcast, I talk to Dean about what got him interested in becoming a professional guide, how he goes about guiding clients and what you should expect as a client of Deans.

Dean is involved with several local groups, including the Southern Africa Field Conservation Project where he applies his knowledge to support their conservation efforts. 

Dean can also be hired directly, and you can contact him at: Deanmcgregorsafaris@gmail.com
