Africa is a vibrant continent. It holds some of the world’s greatest wilderness areas, richest cultures and teems with wildlife from the depths of the jungles to the vast plains, from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the oceans. There are glittering river systems streaked with the colours of tropical birds, expansive deserts tracked by solitary oryx, and everywhere the pulse of myriad beguiling cultures. Perhaps most importantly of all, there is a certain magic in the air that enchants everyone lucky enough to visit.
