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.”

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

Karen Blixen

“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.”

Francesca Marciano

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

Ralph Lauren

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

Gary Snyder

“All good things are wild and free.”

Henry David Thoreau

“…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.”

James Stevenson-Hamilton

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

Karen Blixen
