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

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.
Karen Blixen“So lovely, as if the contemplations of it could itself be enough to make you happy all your life.”

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.”
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.”
Karen Blixen“My own relation to the world of ancient Africa was indeed a kind of love affair: love at first sight and everlasting.”
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?”
Henry David Thoreau“All good things are wild and free.”
