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.”

“So lovely, as if the contemplations of it could itself be enough to make you happy all your life.”

Karen Blixen

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

Sean Hemingway

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.

Gary Snyder

“Safari: A world without boundaries. A world of romance and elegance. A personal adventure and way of life.”

Ralph Lauren

“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

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

Karen Blixen

“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?”
