“So lovely, as if the contemplations of it could itself be enough to make you happy all your life.”
Karen Blixen
“So lovely, as if the contemplations of it could itself be enough to make you happy all your life.”
Jane Goodall“It was wildest, untouched Africa, and it was magic.”
Karen Blixen“My own relation to the world of ancient Africa was indeed a kind of love affair: love at first sight and everlasting.”
Gary SnyderNature is not a place to visit. It is home.
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.”
Henry David Thoreau“All good things are wild and free.”
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.”
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?”
