Despite the numerous challenges it presents to its foreign guests , and indeed to its locals , living in Africa is an unforgettable experience !
The Italians speak of ‘ Mal D ’ Africa !’ – literally ‘ Illness for Africa ’ - an inner craving , a heartfelt soul-yearning that calls you to return and that will forever haunt anyone who has experienced the beauty and enchanting quality of this continent ; a continent that is too vast and rich and varied to confine its description to a mere article such as this one !
" Mother Africa " holds many treasures and resources : her happy , radiant & hospitable peoples ; her vibrant colours and lush , tropical flora ; her succulent and exotic fruits ; her spectacular sunsets and wide horizons ; her splendid wildlife that can be viewed living in natural habitats ; kilometres after kilometres of open space and unspoiled nature ranging from rugged coastlines to majestic snowcapped mountains ; from pink or white sandy beaches with warm balmy breezes to high altitude fresh-water lakes . And hidden in her depths ; treasures ; gold and diamonds , precious jewels , and her envied ‘ black gold ,’ her oil and her converted mineral reserves .
Africa offers a unique and enriching international experience to which few others could ever compare !
