Episode 7: Walking 160km across the Kafue National Park in Zambia with Phil Jeffery.

Conservation Storytelling with Matt Blair

The history of the Kafre National Park in Zambia goes back as far as the 1920’s, long before it was formally declared a National Park. To raise awareness for the park, Phil and his friend Jeff decided to walk 100 miles to commemorate 100 years of the declared park’s existence.

Camping with simple bedrolls in the open and carrying all their supplies for the trek, Phil takes us through some of the experiences of the walk including climbing Kafue’s highest mountain, a hippo crashing through the camp, and the layout and beauty of the Kafue National Park.
