Becoming the Extraordinary Traveler: 5 ways Africa makes us so much more.
This is where luxury safaris and life-changing expeditions seamlessly merge to create an experience that captivates both the outer adventurer and the introspective traveller within.
We all set out on a Safari with our animal checklists and pre conceived ideas around what we will experience.
The truth is travelling to Africa is so much more than this. Here are five ways in which Africa leads to the extraordinary.
“One: you don't travel to Africa because you want just "travel"; You travel to Africa to discover what it means to be wild.
“Two: You don't navigate its seemingly endless deserts and wild spaces to “conquer” them; you go to be transported back in time. To follow routes that were set way before our own journey started.
“Three: You don’t travel into its wildernesses to see elephants, lions, giraffes or any of the wonderful creatures. You go to witness the natural cycles they are all a part of, to experience it, to learn from it, and inevitably be a voice for it.
“Four: You do not travel to Africa to only experience its kaleidoscope of cultures. You travel to Africa because you know that no matter where you are from in the world, We are all of Africa and form part of her global family.
And finally: “You don't travel to Africa because you only want to be a tourist. You travel to Africa because you want to be so much more.”
