OUR GUIDES

I am Julias Banda born in 1976. I work as a professional safari guide level 1 at Zikomo safari in Luangwa National Park Eastern Zambia. I have worked as a safari guide  since  2009 with Robin Pope Safari until 30 July 2018.

Besides guiding I am a holder of Grade  Six Trade Test Certificate in Automotive  mechanics that I acquired from Chipata  skills training College.

In 2004 August,l joined Robin Pope Safari in the capacity of a workshop assistant under the supervision of Robin Pope himself and asked me, ” while working with this company Julias”, where do you want to be in the next 10 years ?It was such an encouraging question by Robin that  I didn’t hesitate Answering him I said “Safari guide Bwana ” It was there and then that he did not take long telling the wife Madam Jo Pope and asked me to drive her to the Airport as part of assessment how competent I would be in terms interaction and driving.

In 2009 March I was sent for a six weeks intensive  guiding study under Luangwa Safaris Association with Deb Tittle who is now the director of Mapazi Safari by then a teacher guide.

Any way to cut the story short I love nature and enjoy interacting with people of different origin ,all in all people  come in common view to see game.
