Jane Goodall“It was wildest, untouched Africa, and it was magic.”
‘To walk in the wake of elephants, to be small in a world of giants, to learn the spoor of silence, and the deep rumbling eloquence of kin.’

Francesca Marciano“Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates? You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above.”

Brian Jackman“Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths? Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago?”
