A podcast for travel trailblazers, everyday heroes & curious minds shaping Africa travel.
Tourism isn't just about destinations. It’s about the people who make the journey possible. The I Am Tourism Stories podcast is where those voices come alive.
Reignited from a powerful pandemic-born movement, this series is back to spotlight the heart and soul of tourism: you.
We're sharing raw, honest, and inspiring conversations with the humans behind the hospitality from fresh-faced newcomers to well-travelled visionaries.
The Most Trafficked Animal on Earth Is Looking for a Home. Could Yours Be Next?
The pangolin is the world's most trafficked mammal. It is covered in scales, armed with a tongue half the length of its body, and capable of forming a ball so impenetrable that lions give up. It makes no sound. It asks for nothing. And it is vanishing.
In this episode of I Am Tourism Stories, Toby Jermyn — co-founder of Pangolin Africa and founder of Pangolin Photo Safaris — tells us everything the tourism industry needs to know about this extraordinary animal, why it sits at the centre of a thriving safari business, and what operators and guides are still getting dangerously wrong at pangolin sightings.
