When we think of Africa, we recall images, adventures and special moments that won't soon be forgotten...Shaking the outstretched hand of a Masai chief as he proudly escorts us through his village and introduces us to his wife and children...Floating in a hot air balloon over the plains of the Serengeti, peering down at Thompson gazelles and a couple of lurking cheetah...Gazing at the 1000-foot Sossusvlei dunes of the Namib Desert... Tracking game from the back of an African elephant...Bicycling through the verdant winelands of South Africa, stopping at quaint vineyards for refreshment...Conversing with recently-anointed Samburu warriors about their new tribal role...Rafting down the mighty Zambezi River, gazing upwards at the thunderous cascades that form Victoria Falls... Marveling as a pride of sunbathing lions pick up the scent of upwind zebras, awake instantly from their slumber, and fan out to hunt their prey with unbelievable efficiency... Feeling the incredibly sticky tongue of a rehabilitated giraffe as it laps up an edible treat from your hand...and catching the intelligent, intermittent glances of an elephant as you watch him approach the vehicle and curiously brush the hood with his trunk. Now discover your own indelible images of Africa! |
