EP14: Outfitter Spotlight - Basso Safaris
<p>Boris Basso of Basso Safaris shot his first impala at nine years old, hunting alongside his father in South Africa's Limpopo province and he'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's plains game, Cape buffalo, and wing shooting, the evolution of game ranching since the 1970s, as well as the conservation model that'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's Go Guided:Website + email signup: letsgoguided.comInstagram: @letsgoguided_Facebook: Let'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>
