SAFARI EDIT
Have you gazed on naked grandeur where there’s nothing else to gaze on?
Then listen to the Wild — it’s calling you.*
There is nowhere quite like Africa. No matter the country, there is always a true wildness that is tangible in the air. Be it the smell of the cold Atlantic creeping into the desert on an early morning; cicadas serenading you as the heat of the day sinks into the earth; the deep belly laughs heard over an open crackling fire; the beautiful chaos of a city waking up to the call to prayer, comforted by the smell of freshly baked bread on the street; and nothing matches those sunsets as the fire hits the horizon for a few breathtaking moments. There is something magical when you hit the continent. She is alive, she is loud, she will embrace you (whether you like it or not), proudly extroverted … She is wild and will reshape you.
This is our love letter to the African rides that will rearrange your soul. Saddle up and come play with us?
