Guests always want to know more about our staff, who they are, where they come from and the role they perform in the operation and as such we decided to do a monthly profile. This month the Sekoma focus is on our Camp Manager Kelvin.
Kelvin is of Zambian descent and was born in Livingston in the Southern Province. His home language is Lozi but he is completely fluent in English and is even learning a little bit of Afrikaans. In 1992 he became a Wild Life Conservation Member and this is where his interests began.

Kelvin was employed on Sekoma Island during 1998 as a Game Guard prior to the lodge being built, so it was a natural progression for him to become a Guide and his experience grew from there. He is an avid fisherman and his exploits of the Tiger Fish he has caught will be of interest to all. He adores Bird Watching and is extremely knowledgeable regarding local folklore and places of interest.
Kelvin was promoted to Camp Manager in 2001 and has excelled in this position, learning new things every day. He is well liked and respected by guests and staff alike. His current passion is creating new and diverse Fly fishing activities throughout the lower Zambezi , some of the best spots being found amongst the white water rapids below Sekoma Island , getting there is quite an experience, utilizing the lodges new rubber ducks which have been purchased for these and other activities.
Look out for the “Big Man” on your next visit to Sekoma!
