Thrumming Hearts, Memories of the Past, a Limitless Horizon

Africa is a land that awakens the spirit. From the vast and golden sand dunes of the Sahara, to the misty peaks of Kilimanjaro, from the sweeping horizons of the Serengeti to the wild coasts of Cape Town, Africa pulsates with life, stories and connections. As the birthplace of humanity, it is a place where every traveler has the power to, and ineluctably does, return with true altered perception.

Every experience here is infused with sensation and adventure. You might sit listening, under a starry African moon, to the distant roar of a lion; taste the spices of Africa that have crossed continents for centuries; or partake in the drumming from the village lost in time. Africa is as much about the interaction with wild and untamed nature as is the interaction with people, whose hospitality, resourcefulness, and strength can imprint the heart.

If you are a nature enthusiast, Europe also has numerous sites where you can have a good time. It is possible to hike along the rugged trails of the Highlands of Scotland, lounge along the Mediterranean’s sun-kissed beaches, or hit the pristine slopes of the Swiss Alps to ski. There is beauty and allure in every region, so every visit to Europe is a new, fulfilling experience.
