ZILLAH VOSS

TRAVEL EXPERT

After some trips to Africa and volunteer work in Malawi, Zillah began her 'Zambian journey' with a season in a remote bush camp in Luangwa. 10 years later, the Luangwa Valley stole her heart and is still her home. After 4 years as the manager of bush camps, she switched to reservation and marketing positions - including for the beautiful Kaya Mawa Lodge on Likoma Island in Lake Malawi. Accordingly, Zillah's favorite safari is a 'Bush & Beach' combination!
