Interview
Five minutes with
PATRICK SIABUNKULULU When did you join Anabezi camp and what is your role? I joined Anabezi in 2014 and I am a senior guide.
Where did you grow up and how did your safari guiding career start? I grew up in a village called Singani in Choma in the southern province of Zambia. I always loved birds ever since I was a child and when I moved to Lusaka for work, my boss asked me to accompany him in exploring Lower Zambezi National Park. He had bought a place where he wanted to build a lodge, we constructed a camp there and other staff houses. We came on 26th October, 2000 and I felt at home immediately when I came to Lower Zambezi National Park. In terms of guiding, which one do you prefer, walking or driving? I prefer walking. It is more interactive as the guests are able to point out what they see and get more involved. What are your favourite walks? Birding walks and tracking down cats.
What do you love most about working at Anabezi camp? It’s the best place to work for. They have built a good team between senior management and members of staff. TL Z
