  Africa is a place that stretches one's imagination for those that have been there and for those that have not! Visions of Africa dance in every body's heads but only a few lucky people understand reality from fiction. The lucky few that have been there, tasted, touched and seen the mysteries of the Dark Continent are the only ones who truly understand.
 
 
 
Africa is a place that will beacon you to return to it. Your first visit is most often like your first kiss, a wonderful experience, a playful joyous scamper through paradise, oohing and aahing at the marvels of this foreign world. Chances to taste smell, see and experience new wonders - the first kiss with Africa makes you fall in love with her. You have to go back for more. Paradise is a big place to discover the first kiss. You are caressed with beautiful vistas and herds of wild game.
This enhances and broadens your visions of Mother Nature and the bountiful and beautiful woman she is! It wets your appetite for more. One is like a teenager in love, you thrive to explore her and unlock the secrets of life and death hidden just below her appealing surface. When you dance with this beautiful woman you cannot help but hunger for more even if you know there are places you should not go. One should be wary of the forbidden fruit!
Africa is so sweet and beautiful on her face-so inviting! But the kiss of Africa also reeks of the smell of death. Her warmth and beauty suck you in like a Venus fly trap, inviting you to the life of paradise. How far do you go? How long do you embrace this woman before it's the last dance! You cannot resist the forbidden fruit tree and the evil and danger that lurk within it. We were meant to be mere mortals, so it is only fate that brings you back to Africa to hunt the most dangerous game on earth!
On the first trip to Africa, one is likely to hunt plains game. You can enjoy beautiful vistas of semi-open plateaus scattered with zebra, gazelle, wildebeest and the beautiful and majestic kudu. You stalk an array of wonderful and bizarre antelope being challenged by long shots, their stamina and durability. In the evening, you return to a luxurious ranch to be pampered by a large staff with fine food and drink. It is love at first sight until you taste the forbidden fruit.
Now you become mortal and are susceptible to the consequences of nature and reality. The second time around your ventures takes you deep into the bush where you and your counter parts huddle together in camp at night while predator s stalk the dark perimeters.
This time you enjoy the compelling beautiful land called Africa by day but sleep uneasy as the dark side engulfs you at night. If you want to hold this woman's hand before the big alter of the sky, she will test you. She will see if you are worthy. If you cannot stand tall and alone and stare into the mouth of death, then do not think about screwing with Mother Nature.
