<p>Boris Basso of Basso Safaris shot his first impala at nine years old, hunting alongside his father in South Africa&#39;s Limpopo province and he&#39;s spent his life since then turning that same experience into a business built on fair chase, conservation, and genuine hospitality. He runs his operation on his own farm right on the Botswana border, in malaria-free country his clients describe as life changing.</p><p>In this episode, Robbie sits down with Boris to talk about South Africa&#39;s plains game, Cape buffalo, and wing shooting, the evolution of game ranching since the 1970s, as well as the conservation model that&#39;s made South Africa a global destination for ethical hunting. </p><p>Boris also talks about the decision that defined his career, walking away from a 36-year career in the plastics industry to buy a farm during COVID lockdown, a bet that fellow farmers thought was crazy at the time.</p><p>If Africa has ever crossed your mind, this conversation is one you want to hear.</p><p><br></p><p>Let&#39;s Go Guided:Website + email signup: letsgoguided.comInstagram: @letsgoguided_Facebook: Let&#39;s Go Guided</p><p><br></p><p>Basso Safaris:🌐 bassosafaris.com📸 @basso_safaris</p><p><br></p><p>Photography credit: Courtesy of Basso Safaris.</p>
