Being so diverse, Africa is never easy to put into words, but we have found five travel bloggers who have done a great job of summing up their time on the continent. You’ll be guaranteed to fall in love with overlanding the landscapes, culture and jaw-dropping wildlife after just one read, but please note we take no responsibility for onset of Africa addiction!
“As an avid traveler and a New Yorker, I remained skeptical of the cliche “Africa is the trip of a lifetime,” but after my adventure I learned its truth. The rawness, beauty, and soul of the entire continent remain with you long after you leave. “Africa” gets inside you and stays there for a lifetime. I am constantly planning a return.”

For the non-judgement of my colour
For the smiles never hidden
For the landscape un-developed
For allowing nature’s giants to roam free
For sharing your history
For aspiring to inspiring futures
For the biltong
For the stars that illuminate the night sky
For the roar of falls and crickets near lakes
For finding contentment in simplicity
For the pride your people carry
For bringing your visitors together in awe
Not for the dirt roads…
For preserving ancient treasures
For every shade of dusk and dawn
For the unpolluted air
And great coffee beans
Thank you, Africa.

“My journey, both on and offline, has been far more emotional and personal than I ever expected it would be and whilst at times it’s been hard, overall it has been a fantastic journey physically and mentally. Without a doubt, Africa beats Asia hands down and it has been the best 6 weeks of my life.”
Toni White, Editor of Reclaiming My Future
“After my 43-day African overland trip by truck, my memories will always be of:
The animals roaming and living free, the desolate yet stunning beautiful rugged landscape and the locals holding onto their traditional ways
All three elements were coping with the ever-increasing intrusion of man and our western world ways.
Go before it is too late and witness for yourself this marvellous eye opening continent.”
Bruce Sai Louie, Adventurer & blogger
“What I love about Africa is that it’s a place of extremes – astonishing lushness and beautifully barren deserts, warm-hearted communities as well as ancient tribal traditions. It is a place that you not only discover, but where you discover yourself. Africa forces a reaction, unveiling the true person you are — as a traveler of the world, as a student of life, and as a newfound friend.”
