Driving across the African continent in an old Land Rover. Safari guide in the remote Zambezi valley. Join us for part two as we hear more tales of classic African adventure from Rob Fynn.

Rob Fynn's family goes back in Africa six generations. He was brought up in Rhodesia and then at age 18 he left to join the Royal Navy. He was asked to leave when UDI was declared and all Rhodesians in the British armed forces were now regarded as potential rebels.

After pursuing his engineering degree at Bristol University, he returned home driving across the African continent in a Land Rover, which led him into starting up a safari operation in the remote Zambezi valley of Zimbabwe.

Rob Fynn is a professional guide and author. His book, Angels in a Thorn Bush is good reading. Available at Amazon and good book stores.
