Africa ... the world in one continent!
There is a saying among the locals, that "once you have breathed the African air, wiped her dust from your shoes, and witnessed her horizon... you can never get Africa out of your blood!"
From the heights of Kilimanjaro, to the depths of her dry salt pans, Africa resounds in the hearts of all who have encountered her. A continent so unique; so enticing; so tainted; so vibrant; so dark; so alive ... From the unspoiled dunes of the Kalahari dessert, to the rich resources of diamonds, gold and oil - Africa is a well of paradoxes: from flood and famine to drought and fertility; from bloodshed and battle, to new birth and cultural heritage; from kings and royalty, to ancestry, poverty and African renaissance ... she is more than a continent in the warmest part of the world.
She holds onto the wonder of the pyramids, and the life-giving meander of the Nile. Her dust clings to the mystery of the beginnings of humankind, in the bones of her forefathers and the art of Stone Age. She tells a history of darkness and death, and yet produces an abundance of harvest. She is tainted by fire and adorned with tropical rain forests, the roar of the Victoria Falls and the great Zambezi.
From the plains of the Serengeti where wildlife roam free, Africa is home to the "Big Five" and many more spectacular sightings. It is only in Africa that one can experience a people so vibrant, so passionate, so rhythmic, so giving and yet in such need.
Africa is a land of colour and beauty ... she lingers in the heart of all who have visited her. With her wealth of heritage and poverty stricken history, it is no wonder that Africa has a unique story of her own! A story that surpasses all time ... Africa lingers on... Touch her spirit, feel her soul... taste Africa!
