Welcome to Inspiring African Travel - the podcast sharing extraordinary African travel stories while honouring those driving positive change across the continent.
Hosted by James Wilson and Stuart Parker, we've explored Africa's incredible diversity across eight seasons and over 50 episodes. From our early series featuring "Women in Travel" and "Local Heroes in Tourism" to "African Travel Tips" and "Transformative Travel in Africa".
More than just travel - we share responsible travel stories, conservation efforts, and community upliftment. Each episode features inspiring conversations with local guides, conservationists, and travel experts who are making a real difference in their space.
In loving memory of our co-founder Julia Spry-Wilson, we've established the Inspiring African Travel Fund, supporting grassroots projects across Ghana, Zanzibar, and Botswana. From coral restoration to wildlife conservation and education initiatives, we're creating lasting positive impact.
Whether you're planning your first African adventure or you're a seasoned traveller seeking inspiration, join us as we uncover the beauty, culture, and incredible people that make Africa so special.

Welcome Back - A Dedication to our beautiful co-founder Julia Spry-Wilson and our 2024 fundraising plan
In our official relaunch and opening episode to series 6, we are so thrilled to welcome you back to Inspiring African Travel.
This episode is our heartfelt dedication to our beautiful co-founder, Julia Spry-Wilson, and a glimpse into our 2024 fundraising plans in her memory.
With mixed emotions, we're excited to resume our podcast, sharing our enduring passion for African travel. However, our hearts are heavy as we remember Julia, our co-founder, inspiration, and of course, James’ wife. Her passing on January 26, 2023, left a massive void. Beyond the podcast, she was a cherished friend and colleague to many listeners, leaving such an great impact.
After a year of healing and reflection, we're back. Stuart and I will continue uncovering the wonders of Africa, just as we have from the beginning.
In other news, we've officially launched a fundraising campaign, a testament to Julia's vision. Inspiring African Travel has always championed positive impact, responsible travel, community upliftment, and conservation. Julia's dream, as we discussed before her passing, is now a reality. You can learn more about our fundraising projects on our website as well as donate and join our mailing list!
Navigating life without Julia is an ongoing struggle, a daily journey of grief and adjustment. Yet, amidst the pain, there's gratitude for the love she shared and her profound impact on so many people.
As we embark on this new chapter, exploring Africa and engaging with inspiring individuals, we invite you to join us—whether you're returning or joining for the first time.
Thank you for coming back, and thank you to Jules. Our eternal inspiration!
Your spirit lives on in every adventure we undertake.
