Our Story
Hey there! We're Ian and Lesley Thomson, the heart and soul behind AFRICA TALKS.
Our story isn't just a tale of passion and dedication; it's a personal journey deeply etched with an unwavering love for this extraordinary continent.
Decades of adventures have left us inspired, humbled, and forever bound to the beauty, the people, and the transformative power of this land.
We've delved into the rich tapestry of its diverse cultures, fostering a profound respect for the mosaic of traditions that make Africa so unique. Along the way, we've had the privilege of working closely with local communities and organizations tirelessly dedicated to preserving Africa's natural heritage.
AFRICA TALKS is not just a platform for us; it's a testament to the enduring magic of Africa. It's our promise to keep the spirit of Africa alive in the hearts of people everywhere. We invite you to join us in celebrating this extraordinary journey, filled with endless possibilities.
Over the years, we've dedicated ourselves to various facets of wildlife and tourism in Africa, whether it's promoting conservation education, leading safaris, managing lodges and reserves, training guides, or supporting anti-poaching efforts.
Our journey has also led us to become published authors, and our unique connection to Africa is the driving force behind AFRICA TALKS.
Join us on our ongoing journey as we continue to celebrate the majesty of Africa. We are committed to connecting the world to its wonders, all the while working tirelessly to protect its future. Africa speaks to us, and through AFRICA TALKS, we, in turn, amplify the voice of this extraordinary continent.
