Henry David Thoreau
James Stevenson-Hamilton“…few can sojourn long within the unspoilt wilderness of a game sanctuary, surrounded on all sides by its confiding animals, without absorbing its atmosphere; the Spirit of the Wild is quick to assert supremacy, and no man of any sensibility can resist her.”
Jane Goodall“It was wildest, untouched Africa, and it was magic.”

Sean Hemingway“I left Africa understanding that every creature on this planet had its purpose, and comforted to know that I was still figuring out mine.”
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.”
Gary SnyderNature is not a place to visit. It is home.
I dreamed of Africa“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.”
