Episode 29: The Sparkle of Humanity: Hospitality
Listen now
Description
Hospitality goes back to our primordial roots - welcoming strangers who brought news from the distant lands.  Today it can seem like a lost art - a transaction rather the sparkle of humanity.  On this episode we explore hospitality's roots but also go to where it is thriving today, in East Africa.  Some say it's not something you can teach.  If that is the case, those in the safari industry at the lodges, tented camps, resorts and hotels, are born with a great gift. As a traveler to Africa, you will be welcomed and cared for probably like you never have been before on a vacation.  So welcome friends and strangers alike.  Put your feet up and enjoy the podcast.  We'll bring you an ice cold fresh washcloth to wipe off the safari dust and some chilled paw paw juice.  After which, you'll be refreshed so you can sit back and tell stories of the day and dream of your adventures to come.  Karibu mgeni! (Welcome stranger!) We'd love to hear from you!  [email protected] Like this podcast? Subscribe so you can be notified of future episodes.
