Check-In Podcast by TMR Episode 14: Checking in with Sherwin Banda

For African Travel’s Sherwin Banda, the travel and hospitality industries found him, not the other way around. The industries provided an escape for Banda, a way out to a different life out of the regular constraints he faced growing up.

In this episode, Banda shares his story, from his humble beginnings in apartheid-era South Africa to now overseeing one of the leading Africa-focused tour operators in the industry. He talks about what he loves about Africa and how travel, a force for good, is one of the driving forces in preserving the continent’s environmental beauty.
