“Looking into the night, I can see eyes staring back at me.
In the dark, something is moving. I am afraid, but I am also happy.
I have never been here before, And yet I feel like I have returned.
I am at peace.”

I dreamed of Africa

“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?”

Poem: Wilderness by Ian McCallum

Ian McCallum’s poignant words remind us why we seek to experience Africa’s wilderness areas and protect their wild beauty, both tangible and intangible.

The Little Five Collection

The famous ‘Big 5′: Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo and Elephant captivate naturalists’ attention with their charisma, size and beauty. The ‘Little 5’ however, are small and unassuming yet bursting with brilliance if you take the time to look.

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.

“I left Africa understanding that every creature on this planet had its purpose, and comforted to know that I was still figuring out mine.”
