Andy sits down with Zimbabwean entrepreneur, explorer, and ‘African Plant Hunter‘ Gus Le Breton for a fascinating dive into Africa’s wild plants, ancient knowledge, and untold stories from the bush. Best known for helping launch baobab as the world-famous ‘African superfruit,’ Gus shares how a lifelong obsession with Africa’s biodiversity took him from a mission hospital in Kenya to solo overland adventures across the Sahara and Congo, studying at Cambridge and Yale, and eventually building businesses around the continent’s remarkable trees and plants.
From marula oil myths and medicinal plants to the incredible survival strategies of Africa’s toughest trees, Gus explains why the continent’s botanical world is far stranger, more useful, and more important than most people realise. Along the way, Andy and Gus swap stories about African culture, wilderness experiences, and the hidden connections between people, plants, and conservation.
Insightful, entertaining, and packed with wild stories, this episode will completely change the way you look at the African bush.
