"All I wanted to do was get back to Africa. We had not left it, yet, but when I would wake in the night I would lie, listening, homesick for it already" Ernest Hemingway (American Author)
INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES ON TRAVEL TO AFRICA
Africa tends to have this habit... a very pleasant habit of leaving its visitors totally enchanted and wanting more and more of it and we totally understand. From playing host to the world's most spectacular wildlife ecosystem, to the pleasant tropical weather patterns, to the wonderful organic food, to the warm hospitable people, to the clean and refreshing air not quite present in the world's biggest cities, to the magnificent terrain ranging from Namibia's skyhigh sand dunes to the spectacular Victoria falls to Kenya's pristine turquoise ocean waters to the wonderful culinary choices in Africa's big cities you are well on course for an adventure of a lifetime.
Africa has played host to some of the most distinguished and most celebrated humans of all time on Safari.Ranging from the English Royal family to former Presidents of the UNITED STATES, THEODORE ROOSEVELT and BILL CLINTON, to a multitude of world reknown celebrities ranging from Steph Curry to Lewis Hamilton and a multitude of writers who have penned heart stirring messages reffering to their respective stays while on the continent while on Safari. It is this last group of people that we are going to dwell on in this piece!
“For anyone who feels they are overwhelmed by their job, or maybe they take their job too seriously or are working too hard, I say go to a safari, particularly the Okavango Delta and just be humbled.” Jill Scott (American Singer)
I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.”
* Ernest Hemingway (American author and journalist)
“The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa – for he has so much to look forward to.”
* Richard Mullin
“Africa – You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heat, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.”
Jodi Picoult (American author)
“When you leave Africa, as the plane lifts, you feel that more than leaving a continent you’re leaving a state of mind. Whatever awaits you at the other end of your journey will be of a different order of existence.”
Francesca Marciano (Italian novelist and filmmaker)
“It’s really beautiful. It feels like God visits everywhere else but lives in Africa.”
Will Smith (American actor)
“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?”
Brian Jackman (British journalist and author)
“There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne — bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive.”
Karen Blixen (Danish author and settler in colonial Kenya)
"If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.”
John Hemingway (American author)
“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 (Italian novelist and filmmaker)
“I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored” – David Attenborough ( British broadcaster and Biologist)
“There are as many Africas as there are books about Africa — and as many books about it as you could read in a leisurely lifetime. Whoever writes a new one can afford a certain complacency in the knowledge that his is a new picture agreeing with no one else’s, but likely to be haugtily disagreed with by all those who believed in some other Africa. … Being thus all things to all authors, it follows, I suppose, that Africa must be all things to all readers.”
Beryl Markham (British born Kenyan Aviator and Adventurer)
“I hope you have an experience that alters the course of your life because, after Africa, nothing has ever been the same” – Suzanne Evans
“People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure” – David Attenborough (British Broadcaster and Biologist)
“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home.”
Beryl Markham (British-born Kenyan and adventurer)
“There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne — bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive.”
Karen Blixen (Danish author who spent 17 years in Kenya)
“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)
“You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions.”
Karen Blixen (Danish author)
There is a language going on out there – the language of the wild. Roars, snorts, trumpets, squeals, whoops and chirps have meaning derived over eons of expression…we have yet to become fluent in the language – and music – of the wild.”
Boyd Norton (American wildlife photographer)
“I have loved no part of the world like this and I have loved no women as I love you. You’re my human Africa. I love your smell as I love these smells. I love your dark bush as I love the bush here, you change with the light as this place does, so that one all the time is loving something different and yet the same. I want to spill myself out into you as I want to die here.”
Graham Greene (English writer and journalist)
“Wilderness gave us knowledge. Wilderness made us human. We came from here. Perhaps that is why so many of us feel a strong bond to this land called Serengeti; it is the land of our youth.”
Boyd Norton (American wildlife photographer)
“Having travelled to some African countries, I find myself, like so many visitors to Africa before me, intoxicated with the continent. And I am not referring to the animals, as much as I have been enthralled by them during safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe . Rather I am referring to the African people.”
Dennis Prager
