Carla Geyser - Overlanding w/ Blue Sky Society Trust

Carla of Blue Sky Society Trust on the GHT Overland Podcast

Overlanding Expeditions with a Purpose

Carla launched an all women's expedition series in 2016 focused on human wildlife coexistence; women empowerment in rural communities; conservation education for youth, along with raising money for specific charities. 


Carla brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that she shares. You will be inspired by her energy and obvious passion for Mamma Afrika. We learned so much from Carla, from the difficulties of raising an orphaned elephant (they can literally die of a broken heart) to elephants and bees, and the importance of leading with a sense of humor. 


Both Part 1 and Part 2 are packed with information and inspiring stories. In Part 1 is mostly focused on the overlanding aspect, and the all women expeditions that Carla leads. While Part 2 goes more in depth on the conservation side. Regardless of your intent to overland in Africa, the stories and information Carla shares is an absolute must. Be sure to share both episodes with anyone whom they might inspire, or to join Carla in any of her expeditions, conservation or fundraising.
