Elephant Gin, anyone?

There are so many of us in the world that readily confess to a deep love for gin and tonic. What if one could harness this collective passion, the world over, and turn it into something good? Robin Gerlach and Tessa Wienker travelled through Africa in 2011 and had exactly this thought.

Back to Africa on a dream

The wonderful old flying machine – a 1929-model Gypsy Moth – spent around 50 hours soaring over the quintessential East African bushveld during the filming of ‘Out of Africa’ – a Kenyan tale of romance between Danish Baroness Karen Blixen and big-game hunter Denys Finch Hatton.

“My own relation to the world of ancient Africa was indeed a kind of love affair: love at first sight and everlasting.”
