Africa is a continent of vast contrasts, great mystique, untold beauty, immense hardship...and it could still take three months by off-road vehicle from top to bottom! Here, time is often measured by the position of the sun and a meeting arranged for the day after full moon! It has been called the Cradle of Humankind, the Dark Continent and many other names, both derogatory and complimentary, but one thing is as clear as daylight; it holds a huge air of mystique for those who have not yet had the opportunity to experience it. And the fortunate enough to have been here regularly feel that yearning to return... to experience more of the wild, feel the ruggedness, see the exquisite beauty of the scenery again, conquer the touch of danger on a hike in the wild, hear the multiple sounds inside a lush tropical forest, smell the freshness of earth on an early morning safari or gaze over the vast open planes teeming with the very life of South Africa!
