MEET AFRICA.

 

WHY AFRICA? THE DYNAMIC AND RYTHMIC WILDERNESS AND VIBRANCY OF THE PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT. YOU SHOULD SEE THE GRASSLAND SAVANNA  AND THE GIRAFFES !


I particularly love Africa. It's the dynamic and rhythmic wilderness and vibrancy of the people and environment. The vibrancy of the Savanna, extensive grassland, the rift valley, the Mediterranean forest, the wild desert, the roar of the lions, and noisy crickets at night. What's not to like? It ain't Africa without diversity, the extensive Maasai community, the Himba of Namibia, Latuka of Sudan, and the Hamer of Ethiopia.
