To get lost is to learn the way — African proverb

It’s really beautiful. It feels like God visits everywhere else, but lives in Africa — Will Smith

Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths? Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago? — Brian Jackman

The continent is too large to describe. It is a veritable ocean, a separate planet, a varied immensely rich cosmos. Only with the greatest simplification, for the sake of convenience, can we say ‘Africa’. In reality, except as a geographical appellation, Africa does not exist — Ryszard Kapuseinski

Africa has her mysteries, and even a wise man cannot understand them. But a wise man respects them — Miriam Makeba

Old and new kiss everywhere in Africa — John Gunther

Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home — Beryl Markham

Maybe that is why you seem to live more vividly in Africa. The drama of life there is amplified by its constant proximity to death. That’s what infuses it with tension. It is the essence of its tragedy too. People love harder there. Love is the way that life forgets that it is terminal. Love is life’s alibi in the face of death — Peter Godwin

You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions — Isak Dinesen

When you have caught the rhythm of Africa, you find out that it is the same in all her music — Karen Blixen

Every time the sun goes down
Reminds me of the love I’ve found
At sunset, sunset
Sunset, African sunset
I hear you calling me, so far away
Sunset, my African sunset
I feel you reaching out
Across the water — Tommy Page

There is no day that goes without the moon and no day that goes without sunrise and sunset — Quote Africa

I am not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me — Kwame Nkrumah

Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates? You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above — Francesca Marciano

Africa is not a country, but it is a continent like none other. It has that which is elegantly vast or awfully little — Douglas Wilder

Nothing but breathing the air of Africa, and actually walking through it, can communicate the indescribable sensations — William Burchell

If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again — Karen Blixen

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together — Quote in Africa

There are as many Africas as there are books about Africa — and as many books about it as you could read in a leisurely lifetime. Whoever writes a new one can afford a certain complacency in the knowledge that his is a new picture agreeing with no one else’s, but likely to be haughtily disagreed with by all those who believed in some other Africa. … Being thus all things to all authors, it follows, I suppose, that Africa must be all things to all readers — Beryl Markham

Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water — W. Fields

Few can sojourn long within the unspoilt wilderness of a game sanctuary, surrounded on all sides by its confiding animals, without absorbing its atmosphere; the Spirit of the Wild is quick to assert supremacy, and no man of any sensibility can resist her — James Stevenson-Hamilton

To witness that calm rhythm of life revives our worn souls and recaptures a feeling of belonging to the natural world. No one can return from the Serengeti unchanged, for tawny lions will forever prowl our memory and great herds throng our imagination — George Schaller

There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne — bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive — Karen Blixen

Africa is our center of gravity, our cultural and spiritual mother and father, our beating heart, no matter where we live on the face of this earth — John Clarke

The biggest lesson from Africa was that life’s joys come mostly from relationships and friendships, not from material things. I saw time and again how much fun Africans had with their families and friends and on the sports fields; they laughed all the time — Andrew Shue

There is always something new out of Africa — Pliny the Elder

But African time was not the same as American time… As African time passed, I surmised that the pace of Western countries was insane, that the speed of modern technology accomplished nothing, and that because Africa was going its own way at its own pace for its own reasons, it was a refuge and a resting place — Paul Theroux

To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries — Aldous Huxley

You cannot leave Africa. It is always with you, there inside your head. Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; our drumbeats counting out your pulse; our coastline the silhouette of your soul — Bridget Dore

Having travelled to some 20 African countries, I find myself, like so many other visitors to Africa before me, intoxicated with the continent. And I am not referring to the animals, as much as I have been enthralled by them during safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Rather, I am referring to the African people — Dennis Prager

I believe there is no sickness of the heart too great it cannot be cured by a dose of Africa. Families must go there to learn why they belong together on this Earth, adolescents to discover humility, lovers to plumb old but untried wells of passion, honeymooners to seal marriages with a shared sense of bafflement, those shopworn with life to find a tonic for futility, the aged to recognise a symmetry to twilight. I know this all sounds a bit much, but if I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa — John Hemingway

You are not a country, Africa. You are a concept. You are not a concept, Africa. You are a glimpse of the infinite — Ali Mazrui

To see ten thousand animals untamed and not branded with the symbols of human commerce is like scaling an unconquered mountain for the first time, or like finding a forest without roads or footpaths, or the blemish of an axe. You know then what you had always been told – that the world once lived and grew without adding machines and newsprint and brick-walled streets and the tyranny of clocks — Beryl Markham

Now, looking back on my life in Africa, I feel like it might altogether be described as the existence of a person who had come from a rushed and noisy world, into a still country… So lovely as if the contemplation of it could itself be enough to make you happy all your life — Karen Blixen

The only thing that makes me sad is that I shall be leaving Africa when I die. I love Africa, which is my mother and my father. When I am dead, I shall miss the smell of Africa — Alexander McCall Smith

Africa gives you the knowledge that man is a small creature, amongst other creatures, in a large landscape — Doris Lessing

You either get the point of Africa or you don’t. What draws me back year after year is that it’s like seeing the world with the lid off — A.A. Gill

We are all children of Africa, and none of us is better or more important than the other. This is what Africa could say to the world: it could remind it what it is to be human — Alexander McCall Smith

With each new day in Africa, a gazelle wakes up knowing he must outrun the fastest lion or perish. At the same time, a lion stirs and stretches, knowing he must outrun the fastest gazelle or starve. It’s no different for the human race. Whether you consider yourself a gazelle or a lion, you have to run faster than others to survive — Mohammed Maktoum

For Africa to me… is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place — Maya Angelou

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn — Ralph Emerson

I have loved no part of the world like this and I have loved no women as I love you. You’re my human Africa. I love your smell as I love these smells.

Africa shed her blood and surrendered the lives of her children so that all her children could be free. She gave of her limited wealth and resources so that all of Africa should be liberated. She opened her heart of hospitality and her head so full of wise counsel, so that we shall emerge victorious. A million times, she put her hand to the plough that has now dug up the encrusted burden of oppression accumulated for centuries. If freedom was the crown which the fighters of liberation sought to place on the head of mother Africa, let the upliftment, the happiness, prosperity and comfort of her children be the jewel of the crown. — Nelson Mandela
