Africa

“When you have caught the rhythm of Africa, you find out that it is the same in all her music”. So wrote Isak Dinesen in 1937 and some 87 years later this is what we want for you, our guests; to introduce you to the unforgettable beat of this extraordinary continent, to meet the people, see the colours, the wildlife, the skies, the plains, the coast. “You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions” said Dinesen. Welcome to Africa and her many, many, remarkable faces.
