“You cannot leave Africa, Africa said. It is always with you, there inside your head. Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; our drumbeats counting out your pulse; our coastline the silhouette of your soul.”
*Bridget Dore (South African poet)
“Nothing but breathing the air of Africa, and actually walking through it, can communicate the indescribable sensations.”
*William Burchell (English explorer)
“The biggest lesson from Africa was that life’s joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields; they laughed all the time.”
*Andrew Shue (American actor)
“…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 (first warden of South Africa’s Sabi Nature Reserve)
