Episode 401 - Wayne Van Den Bergh || Managing ‘Problem Elephants’ in Zimbabwe Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Wayne Van Den Bergh of Nyamazana Safaris out of Zimbabwe joins the show this week. Wayne doesn’t own land or operate massive concessions with big fences, he works with rural development councils in open areas that have wildlife, humans and cattle, and most of his business comes from dealing with problem elephants- one of the most controversial hunts in the world. And Wayne is interacting with elephants and people all the time. This is definitely a perception changing podcast for those that may not have any idea.
