Descripción

In January 2023 we sold Kasabushi Camp, the bush camp and campsite we built from scratch in the Kafue National Park, Zambia. Since then we have been enjoying the freedom to travel to other parts of the world. We are still living the dream and the last 3 years have been full of adventure.
Andy (born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) has 40 years in agriculture, construction and safari tourism (he's a qualified safari guide). He is logical, practical and has a great sense for a job well done. He can do better than basic plumbing, electrics and mechanics. He has a good working knowledge and extensive experience of pool maintenance, solar (water and electric), carpentry and general property maintenance. Andy was recently described as a "jackal of all trades", we love that with his african background,
Lib (born in England) worked in the travel and tourism industry (marketing, sales and account management and relationship building) for many years and is a creative homemaker. We both have a great attention to detail and maintain high standards in all the work we do . We work well as a team with complementary skills that have supported us well over the last decade or so. We were Workaway Hosts in Zambia but have now become Workawayers in order to travel and benefit others with our skills and passion. We are fit, energetic and hard working and love getting to know like-minded people.
We enjoy the ocean and bush and have been lucky enough to have worked in both in the last few years. Wildlife, trees and birds, all nature, we are interested in.
We love our life as Coddiwomplers!

Que habilidades tienes?

Andy can turn his hand to most jobs but his passion is timber building and construction. He is proficient in electrics, plumbing, solar, carpentry, fencing, tree surgery, landscaping, vehicle and marine mechanics. Living in camp and 330km from the nearest city we had to be self-sufficient in all aspects of maintenance and building. Andy is a PADI Divemaster and enjoys snorkeling/freediving too.
Lib is great with design, sewing, creating a home wherever she lives and she's a superb cook. We both have high standards, our lodge in Zambia was No1 in speciality lodging on Trip Advisor and renowned for its attention to detail. Lib did all the social media and bookings and she's got a gift for creative blog writing.
We both water-ski and Andy is a qualified powerboat driver and waterski instructor.
We lived in the UK until 2013 but adapted to life in Africa which was not easy but we believed in our dream and nothing held us back.
We built our camp with a minimum budget but lots of ingenuity - it had 'understated class'. We lived in a national park so everything was eco/conservation based and we worked in tune with our environment.
We would enjoy a building or renovation project that needs our skills and experience. We have enjoyed care-taking islands resorts over the last couple of years and are open to longer term work. We take pride in helping and supporting hosts to achieve their own dreams while we follow ours.
