Raw and refined, complex and simple, inspiring and troubling, modern and ancient – Africa always has the power to confound, and that is what makes a safari so special. The terrain is incredibly varied, ranging from forest and grasslands to deserts and deltas, and the continent is home to many cultures and people. Add in the sense of being in a place that hasn’t changed for centuries and sometimes millennia, and you get some of the most inspiring, and inspired, spots on the planet.
