  • Interesting & informative

    I was introduced to this show in November and I’ve binge-listened to over 200 episodes since then. I’ve found tips in the episodes that have improved my photography and my Lightroom already - and the travel stories aren’t helping my wanderlust. I’ve planned about 10 years worth of wildlife travel after hearing some of these podcasts and at some point I am going to have to travel with the Wild Eye crew.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#598 - Test Malunga, Manager and Safari Guide, Gorongosa
Q: Why offer wet-season activities and how does the seasonality affect accessibility?
The seasons have shifted to a longer wet season with more water-based activities like boat trips, and roads open up progressively as it dries, allowing visitors to experience Gorongosa in different ecological contexts.
#598 - Test Malunga, Manager and Safari Guide, Gorongosa
Q: What does the future look like for Gorongosa in terms of rewilding and species management?
He describes ongoing rewilding, including expanding lions and leopards, stabilizing predator-prey dynamics, and continuing to grow the herd of other species while balancing ecosystem health and visitor impact.
#598 - Test Malunga, Manager and Safari Guide, Gorongosa
Q: How long have you been in Gorongosa? What's your history with Gorongosa?
Test explains he has been with Gorongosa for just over nine years and will soon reach ten, highlighting his long-term commitment and growth with the project.
#597 - Lower Zambezi Photo Safari 2026
Q: How was your experience at Kutali this time?
Johan describes Kutali as consistently fantastic but notes variation year to year; the camp's riverside setting, morning fires, and wildlife activity, including lion and leopard sightings, make it a standout, with the forest deterring overly easy access and preserving ambiance.
#597 - Lower Zambezi Photo Safari 2026
Q: What's it like getting to Zambia and the different sides of the park?
The hosts discuss accessible flight options via Lusaka, with multiple international connections, and highlight the two main zones of the park (western forested areas around Chawa Kutali and the riverine eastern areas toward Tula Island), plus the logistics of transfers and early starts for game drives.
