TTB 062: The Safari for Everyone

Robin Cormack and his wife, Clare are the co-founders and operators of Safari Deal. Robin was born and raised in Zimbabwe on a ranch in the south east of the country. His family moved to South Africa in the early 80’s where Robin completed his high school, military service and obtained a BComm degree. In the ‘gaps’ he travelled and worked around the globe. In 1998 he returned to Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls, where he set up and ran an adventure sports production company, filming adrenaline sports activities, as well as managing an overland truck department for Safari Par Excellence. After meeting Clare, he moved to Zambia where he was General Manager for three years at The River Club, a 5-star lodge on the Zambezi River. In 2004 Robin and Clare were married and they moved to the UK. Robin spent five years with Africa Travel Resource, where he managed the website and online marketing. In 2010 Robin set up Mamba Media, a digital marketing agency focusing on providing bespoke solutions to the travel and tourism industry. Through all of his careers and experiences, ideas for SafariDeal.com were brewing and eventually coming to fruition when they launched the business in 2017. Safari Deal brings together Robin’s digital talent with his proud African roots and travel industry experience.

We came up with the name "The Travelers Blueprint" for two main reasons:
To provide information for you to draft your own itineraries or how to begin a career that takes you all over the world.
We both have backgrounds in engineering, architecture, or the environment, so we though a blueprint was an apt title to describe our intentions and end goal.

Why We Do It:
We both recently settled down with our careers and families, and can no longer live the nomadic lifestyle we both still crave. The solution to satisfy our overwhelming wanderlust is this podcast where we get to sit down with savvy travelers, globetrotters, conservationists, nature-lovers, or any other travel enthusiasts to peer into their inspiring lives. By listening to these fascinating individuals, we vicariously live through their experiences, and in turn share them with you.

You will hear the personal stories of extraordinary people who have “been there and done that”. Our guests share their unique wisdom and unpack valuable advice on how to plan your trip, what to do once you get there, and how to make sure you head back home (or not) with memories that will last a lifetime. Each episode’s discussion will range from a particular location, to discussing a travel-oriented project or conservation effort, and everything in between.

Occasionally, we take a break from hosting guests, and you will get the opportunity to listen to us divulge our own travel ideas and travel experiences, or maybe just exchange our thoughts on travel methods. Although we have similar worldviews and travel ideologies, you will quickly learn that we also have some very different travel expectations.

Tune in each week, and discover something new about the world, the fascinating cultures buried within, and learn how to draft your own journey from those who have traveled before you!
