PREMIER SAFARIS’ ANNOUNCES NOVEL EXPLORER-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM Julian Monroe Fisher To Lead Travelers on Custom Expeditions in Africa

Premier Safaris, a specialist in adventure/luxury safaris in East Africa, is launching a unique program – customized safaris with Explorer-in-Residence Julian Monroe Fisher, a 21^st century David Livingstone. Fisher, an American currently based in Austria, is an explorer, anthropologist, Ethnographic filmmaker, author, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, member of the American Anthropological Association and an International Fellow of the British Chapter of The Explorers Club in New York City.

Between 2007 and 2011, Fisher conducted five consecutive Explorers Club flag-sanctioned research expeditions to the African continent.  In 2012-13, he guided an Expedition Team that included David Baker, great-great-grandson of renowned Victorian-age explorer Sir Samuel White Baker, retracing Baker’s 1860’s route from Cairo to Murchison Falls in Uganda.

For plucky travelers who crave adventure, Premier Safaris will tailor an exciting African safari with Julian Fisher as guide.  Along the way, he will share tales, historical facts and anecdotes from his twenty years of leading expeditions across the continent. Journeys begin in Uganda, the “pearl of Africa,” where one of the great 19^th century quests – the source of the White Nile – was fulfilled, when Jack Speke discovered it in Lake Victoria.  Adventurers can map out an itinerary with Premier Safaris and Julian Fisher to retrace the explored or hazard the unexplored, just like Livingstone, Sir Richard Burton, Jane Digby and other intrepid Africaphiles.
