3. “Africa has her mysteries and even a wise man cannot understand them. But a wise man respects them.”

* Malcolm X (American Muslim minister and human rights activist)

In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.”

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 haugthily 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.”

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.”

16. “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 (British journalist and author, best known for his interest in wildlife and wild places – especially Africa)

* Ryszard Kapuściński (Polish journalist, photographer, poet and author)

35.   “If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?”

I want to spill myself out into you as I want to die here.”

Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; our drumbeats counting out your pulse; our coastline, the silhouette of your soul. So Africa smiled a little when you left. We are in you, Africa said. You have not left us, yet.”

Africa’s most wonderful wildlife quotes

12 thoughts on “77 famous safari quotes that will inspire you to travel africa”.

I am just a week back from my (first) safari. I have been dreaming of Africa every night since I returned home. She is in my head. She is in my heart. I will never be the same.

And thank God for that.

Safari in Africa is an experience like no other. From witnessing majestic lions in their natural habitat to watching graceful giraffes roam the savannah, every moment on safari is filled with wonder and awe. The vast landscapes of Africa offer endless opportunities for exploration and adventure, whether you’re trekking through dense forests or cruising along rivers teeming with wildlife. But what truly sets a safari in Africa apart is the chance to connect with nature on a deeper level, to see firsthand the intricate balance of ecosystems and the incredible resilience of the animals that call them home. A safari in Africa is not just a vacation, it’s an opportunity to connect with the world in a profound and unforgettable way.

Help, I have fallen in love with Africa.

“Unfortunately”, this is very contagious! 🙂

Welcome to the club! 😉

I just came to Africa two weeks ago and I’m already falling in love. Thanks for the great quotes, I enjoyed reading them and a lot are beginning to ring true. I’m excited to explore more of it whenever the opportunity may arise in the future.

So glad you liked the safari quotes, Liz!

Enjoy Africa, now you actually know why Richard Mullin’s quote is spot on! 😉

Hi Michael! Amazing quotes! I enjoyed reading them. Some I’ve heard before and some I have not which was fun to come across while I read through your post. They all really do inspire the desire to travel to Africa or be in Africa. It definitely is a great representation of how I feel whenever I am in the continent. It truly is an amazing surreal place to be in. Not just for the landscape, the views but even because of the people in the country and the wildlife! It’s truly an amazing place and I’d love for everyone to discover the beauty of it.

Glad you enjoyed them, Ana! 🙂

Do you work with Erika and Martin?

Hi Michael! 🙂

I hope all has been well with you.

Yes, I do work with them. They’ve both been inspiring in their travels and most specially with Africa.

Happy travels!

There are things in my life that are as necessary to me almost as much as my husband and my family. Two of these things are music and animals.

A trip that combined these loves beckoned my soul…and Africa was a place I had dreamed of for my whole life. It could be said that in Africa my dreams come true…

Africa seems to have a rhythm that beats like your heart.

Sometimes it’s calm and relaxed – moving steady and contentedly without any real imperative – like the giraffe that walks across the plains. There is a swing and a sway and it has the same grandness as the slow movement of a Beethoven symphony.

Sometimes the rhythm is full of energy and movement – the gazelles come to mind in their quest to find the balance for being watchful and joyful. They have so much energy that they seem to want to let off some steam – pronking and jumping around like staccato notes on a musical score.

The big cats. They say silence has a power all on its own. They survey all that is around them and have been charged with being the judge, jury, and executioner. They sit there quietly, like a rest with a fermata…until they don’t.

Lions are said to be the “king of beasts.” This is not true. The crown belongs to elephants. Every being yields to it without question. The wise give them a respectable berth as an offending tree can be cast to the side with the same effort we use to dismiss insignificant details. Their rhythm is an ever-present sforzando, punctuating the plains with their performance.

Even the annoying mosquitoes and tsetse flies contribute their part to this symphony…they are annoying, persistent, and the bane of every being’s existence…they personify “The flight of the bumblebee.” I don’t like these pesky bugs – or this piece of music, but nonetheless, they exist.

Africa has its own rhythm and feel – unlike anything else I have ever experienced…and the people have captured it in their music. They have somehow captured all that is Africa, and the music feels alive.

The sounds of the Maasai…Their music fills the night – voices, drums, clapping – all of it capturing the essence and spirit of this continent. I could hardly move…I didn’t want to miss even one note. I will remember these sounds forever.

This trip is enough to move even the most well-traveled or stoic person to tears.

It is a remarkable place.

Wow Kelly, THANK YOU!

I could not have found better words to describe my love for this special continent. 🙂

You are such a star! You spoke from the heart and I’m sure a lot of our readers will find your words truly inspiring. I certainly did.

Thanks again for sharing,

I love Africa… Each day, each breath, she consumes me. I have never changed so much in such a short time. Each day I feel more part of her. Her colour, smell, her smiles, the ever changing landscapes. Vast deserts, rolling hills, plains and mountains. Her beauty and her majesty. Like sweet wine flowing through my veins, my heart sings as I wave to all those faces going by. Back home to my grandmother’s birth place. They said “welcome home”, those village boys. How did they know? You all said I would cry, I thought no, but yes I often do. Not for their pain but for their happiness. I cry now, together hearts will sing, “I love Africa”. See her now as I write… Kilimanjaro, it doesn’t get much better. Tears on a hard man’s face. There is no time but now, no words just peace. Thousands of smiling faces, the mass of souls are singing out. Yes I see and feel it now… In those trees I sense the Spirits of our saving, could it be our looking for? Sailing ships a familiar shore, now I’m crying happy and singing. Thoughts intense of please no more. I love Africa. An epiphany I can’t explain. Not like the ancient rituals, sound of rain, and men together by campfires. Beginning to end but there really is no such thing as time, just imaginings. We still love sitting by the camp fire and we love listening to the rain? I love Africa, the Eden and our Birthplace, Man.

How can I explain to you my friend what I have seen and felt unless you too have seen it all… Africa.

47. “The first time I saw a giraffe, I was speechless. It is unlike any other creature on Earth, a living paradox, a walking contradiction in terms. Its head, with its large, gentle eyes, is perched on a neck so long that it seems to be floating in the air, while its body, with its stilted legs and awkward gait, waddles along beneath like a forgotten toy. And paints the wide heavens with such glorious colors that the heart aches with a strange, sweet pain, and one feels that life would be well spent if one could but gaze forever upon such a scene.” – William Cotton Oswell

Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?” – Isak Dinesen

Thus prepared to face the rigors of the game drive, the safari party sets out on foot, horse, or, more commonly, four-by-four safari truck with large windows for viewing wildlife.”

85. “On a broad plain, as the sun cools and evening brings slanted light to the short-grass plain, it turns from yellow to Serengeti gold. At the edge of the plain broken granite kopjes edge the skyline. There are dark groves of trees near the kopjes, and among the trees, a herd of sable antelope feeds quietly. The sables’ scimitar horns glint with the fire of diamonds when the light catches them.” – Brian Herne

95. “There is no other country in all the world which possesses such a wealth of romantic and picturesque scenery, such a wealth of stirring, adventurous history, so great a variety of striking and splendid types of humanity.” – Theodore Roosevelt , African Game Trails .

96. “Africa is a land of contrasts. It has a charm that is all its own, and to those who have once come under its spell, its incomparable beauty and fascination make an appeal that is not easily forgotten.” – Theodore Roosevelt , African Game Trails

97. “Africa is one of the last great strongholds of the wild and uncivilized, and the spectacle of the primeval forces of nature at work has an extraordinary fascination for the beholder.”

98. “Out of the corners of my eyes, I could see the wildlife . And it was majestic. The land was here before we were, and it will be here when we’re gone.” – Ernest Hemingway .

101. “It is a lovely land, the land of my dreams – the land of tremendous, mysterious, and profound horizons – the land of a hundred deserts.” Winston Churchill , My African Journey

This man is also the one who came up with the famous travel quote and instagram caption: ‘Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.’ Kind of sounds like my own travel quote: ‘If you don’t have a destination you can never get lost!’ - Traveltomtom.

12. 'Having travelled to some African countries, I find myself, like so many visitors to Africa before me, intoxicated with the continent.

13.

41. 'There is always something new out of on safari in Africa’! - said by Pliny the Elder, an Roman author who died in 79 AD. Therefore probably one of the oldest quotes about Africa out there!

42. '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.’ - a funny safari quote by W. C. Fields, an American actor and writer. Seems like it was his first time off the beaten track! ;)

43. '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.' - an old school safari quote by James Stevenson-Hamilton, the first warden (1902) of the what is nowadays known as the Kruger National Park.

44. 'What I was really overwhelmed with in Africa was its tremendous natural beauty; I got to go to some pretty amazing places. Every other weekend we got a day or two off to go on a wildlife safari and see some natural wonders of Africa’ - Dutch exchange student in South Africa.

45. 'There is a language going on out there – the language of the wild. Roars, snorts, trumpets, squeals, whoops and chirps have meaning derived over eons of expression… we have yet to become fluent in the language – and music – of the wild.' - Boyd Norton, wildlife photographer, environmental activist and author of 17 books about African safari.

“If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa.”  – By John Hemmingway

“If the thrill of hunting were in the hunt, or even in the markmanship, a camera would do just as well.”  By Jonathan Safran Foer 

“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, “Out of Africa” author  

“He who mounts a wild elephant goes where the elephant goes.” Randolph Bourne 

“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 

“I went to South Africa on safari and came eye to eye with a beautiful leopard. We were so close; I was staring at him for a long time and I felt a recognition with my own nature.“ Bai Ling

“He could tell by the way the animals walked that they were keeping time to some kind of music. Maybe it was the song their hearts that they walked to” Laura Adams Armer 

“Here I am where I belong” Karen Blixen, “Out of Africa” author 

“Africa – You can see a sunset and believe you have witnessed the Hand of God. You watch the slope lope of a lioness and forget to breathe. You marvel at the tripod of a giraffe bent to water. In Africa, there are iridescent blues on the wings of birds that you do not see anywhere else in nature. In Africa, in the midday heart, you can see blisters in the atmosphere. When you are in Africa, you feel primordial, rocked in the cradle of the world.”  Jodi Picoult (American author)  

“I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.”  Ernest Hemingway (American author and journalist)

“Everything in Africa bites, but the safari bug is worst of all.”  Brian Jackman (British journalist and author, best known for his interest in wildlife and wild places – especially Africa)

“For as long as I can remember, I have been passionately intrigued by ‘Africa,’ by the word itself, by its flora and fauna, its topographical diversity and grandeur; but above all else, by the sheer variety of the colors of its people, from tan and sepia to jet and ebony.”  Henry Louis Gates (American literary critic)  

“One cannot resist the lure of Africa.”  Rudyard Kipling (English writer)

“There is a language going on out there – the language of the wild. Roars, snorts, trumpets, squeals, whoops and chirps have meaning derived over eons of expression…we have yet to become fluent in the language – and music – of the wild.”  Boyd Norton (American wildlife photographer, from Serengeti: The Eternal Beginning)  

“They say that somewhere in Africa the elephants have a secret grave where they go to lie down, unburden their wrinkled gray bodies, and soar away, light spirits at the end.” Robert R. McCammon (American novelist)

“People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.”  David Attenborough (English broadcaster and natural historian)  

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”  Bill Bryson (American-British author of books on travel)

“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. I love your dark bush as I love the bush here, you change with the light as this place does, so that one all the time is loving something different and yet the same. I want to spill myself out into you as I want to die here.”  Graham Greene (English writer and journalist)  

“It was wildest, untouched Africa, and it was magic.”  Jane Goodall (English primatologist and anthropologist)

“If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?” Karen Blixen (Danish author best known for “Out of Africa”, her account of living in Kenya)  

“The continent is too large to describe. It is a veritable ocean, a separate planet, a varied, immensely rich cosmos.

• The safari is not just about seeing animals; it’s about understanding the delicate balance of life on this planet. It’s about realizing that we are all interconnected and that the survival of one species is linked to the survival of another. It’s a call to protect and preserve the natural world for future generations.

Final Thoughts

Going on safari is something everyone should experience at least once in their lives. The exciting memories really will stay with you forever.

I’ve been fortunate enough to go on safari in several different countries, including Sri Lanka , Kerala , Namibia , and Kenya . The most recent time was in Wilpattu National Park (it’s an awesome place – and fairly off the beaten track ).

From witnessing the big five at sunrise in Namibia and hearing the distant roar of lions in Kenya to tracking tigers through the forest in India, safari trips are incredibly special.

I hope these safari captions and safari quotes for Instagram help you capture and frame your own beautiful wildlife encounters on social media.

SAFARI QUOTES | MUST READ

Updated: Aug 15, 2019

Over the years, from past expeditions, there have been so many great quotes to come out of the famous African literature. More often than not they are murmurings from the pioneer safari hunters some 80 to 100 years ago that still ring true today. This is the art of storytelling and to have a profound impact on a person’s mind is the ultimate reward for these talented wordsmiths. I have been caught up in the great literature of the yesteryear and often revert back to these writings to this day but there are also some great modern day writings too.

Inspiration is a divine influence or action on a person resulting in a feeling of enthusiasm, a revelation you get from someone or something which gives you new and creative ideas. You can decide if these quotes are inspirational to you but they certainly resonate with me and I would love to share them with you.

“I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up and was not happy.”

– ernest hemingway.

Even though Hemingway lived many moons before my time on this earth, his recollection of Africa still echoes with me today. I’ve woken up sore from tracking mbogo & eland and I have risen with a few splitting hangovers in Africa but never have I been unhappy! Ernest Hemingway was an American novelist, short story writer and journalist that wrote the novel Green Hills of Africa, released in 1935. Some of the material for the novel came from a 10-week expedition to East Africa in 1933 where he visited Mombasa, Nairobi and Machakos in Kenya. Then moved on to Tanganyika Territory, where they hunted in the Serengeti, around Lake Manyara, and west and southeast of present-day Tarangire National Park. When asked what was next for Hemingway upon his return from his safari, he was quoted by a newspaper reporter as saying he was going “to work like hell and make enough money so that I can go back to Africa”

“Everything in Africa bites, but the safari bug is worst of all.” – Brian Jackman

Following with the theme of Hemingway’s feelings towards safari and working hard to get back, Brian Jackman has summed it up extremely well. For someone that hasn’t been, I’m sure you have been advised about this nasty bug. However you won’t know it’s true, itchy bite until you have experienced safari for yourself! The other truth to this quote is that everything in Africa bites. Danish Author Karen Blixen also has a similar sentiment towards Africa when she said “If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again.” I’m sure this will ring true in the later years of life when the body starts to let you down.

“The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa – for he has so much to look forward to.” – Richard Mullin

Compared to Jackman, Mullin has gone about it from a slightly different angle. In this quote I believe that, to an extent, he is describing the anticipation, joy, wonder and excitement of his first safari and the jealousy he feels of a man that has never been because you can’t experience Africa for the first time again once you have been. Another thought is that he could be envious of the fact that if you have never been to Africa, you may not be so consumed by the experience as someone that has been. It takes control of you like nothing else and in most cases it’s all you can think about.

“To experience fantastic things, you need to put yourself in fantastic places.” – Donnie Vincent

Donnie Vincent is an explorer, biologist and modern bow hunter with a unique way of articulating his story. There are many hunters that abide by his testament but aren’t able to tell their story in the same, profound way. His video “Who We Are” from 2014 shows the viewer a glimpse into his spirit and this is where the quote originated. Africa is a fantastic place, well worth putting yourself in.

“He looked at me as if I owed him money.” – Robert Ruark

The full exert from Suicide Made Easy published in Field & Stream in January 1954 is much more in depth and is so close to the mark that it is still relevant some 65 years later. I don’t think anyone has come close to beating this description of a cape buffalo. “I lurched up and looked at Mbogo, and Mbogo looked at me. He was 50 or 60 yards off, his head low, his eyes staring right down my soul. He looked at me as if he hated my guts. He looked at me as if I had despoiled his fiancée, murdered his mother and burned down his house. He looked at me as if I owed him money. I never saw such malevolence in the eyes of any animal, human being, before or since. So I shot him.” Ruarks enthusiasm for Africa was contagious and it resulted in hunters travelling to Africa from all across America and the world. Although the world has changed considerably since, his writings are timeless and you could be mistaken for thinking a current day author has written them. Take this exert from Horn of The Hunter published in 1953 - "The hunter's horn sounds early for some, later for others. For some unfortunates, poisoned by city sidewalks and sentenced to a cement jungle more horrifying than anything to be found in Tanganyika, the horn of the hunter never winds at all. But deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club, and then with spear, and then with bow, and then with gun, and finally with formulae."

“When you leave Africa, as the plane lifts, you feel that more than leaving a continent you’re leaving a state of mind. Whatever awaits you at the other end of your journey will be of a different order of existence.” – Francesca Marciano

There is no doubting it, Africa will alter your existence. When you arrive home your regular life will greet you, which in no way is a bad thing, but your thoughts will wander back to Africa regularly. Francesca has nailed it with this extract from Rules of The Wild.

“A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be.” – Fred Bear

This one speaks for itself really, if you’re only in it for the numbers or size of horn then you’re missing the point of being out there in the first place. Fred Bear was an American outdoorsman, bow hunter, bow manufacturer, author and television host. Robert Ruark wrote something similar in Use Enough Gun in 1966 - “Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animals terrain, if you imprison in your mind all of the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers – then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day.” And later on in his publication Old Man’s Boy Grows Up, Ruark added “The best thing about hunting and fishing, the old man said, is that you don’t have to actually do it to enjoy it. You can go to bed every night thinking about how much fun you had twenty years ago, and it all comes back clear as moonlight.”

“One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job.” – Jose Ortega y Gasset

Taking the life of an animal is such a hard topic to articulate and it appears that each subsequent generation continues to attempt to explain in their own words their decision to hunt. I am fascinated that hunters and outdoorsmen from generations ago were thinking about similar things as I do today. This message for the hunters of today is taken from a Spanish philosopher born in 1883. The book Meditations on Hunting was published 17 years after Jose Ortega y Gasset death in 1955. Outdoor writer John Madson also explained his decision on why he was a hunter - “I do not hunt for the joy of killing but for the joy of living, and the inexpressible pleasure of mingling my life however briefly, with that of a wild creature that I respect, admire and value.”

There is something about Safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows

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

Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

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.

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. One only feels really free when one can go in whatever direction one pleases over the plains, to get to the river at sundown and pitch one's camp, with the knowledge that one can fall asleep beneath other trees, with another view before one, the next night.

I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke that I was not happy.

For anyone who feels they are overwhelmed by their job, or maybe they take their job too seriously or are working too hard, I say go to a safari, particularly the Okavango Delta, and just be humbled.

Guns have metamorphosed into cameras in this earnest comedy, the ecology safari, because nature has ceased to be what it always had been - what people needed protection from. Now nature tamed, endangered, mortal - needs to be protected from people.

People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy.

I don't know how well this would get on, but I'd probably live in Africa...as a job, it would probably be a safari guide.

What I was really overwhelmed with by Africa was its tremendous natural beauty; I got to go to some pretty amazing places. Every other weekend we got a day or two off and go on a safari or the natural wonders of Africa and if anyone gets the opportunity to go there, it's something you have to do in your lifetime.

I went to South Africa on safari and came eye to eye with a beautiful leopard. We were so close; I was staring at him for a long time and I felt a recognition with my own nature.

I'd love to go on a safari - [I've] never been on a safari.

The safari was amazing, to actually see the elephants and the Lions up close and then right at the end to actually get in the cage with the Lion was one of the best moments of the tour.

For a while, I was saying 'no' way too often. I turned down 'An Officer and A Gentleman,' 'Splash' and 'Midnight Express.' I could name you tons more. I would go off and experience life instead of working - I was learning to fly jets, went on an African safari, sailed the Caribbean - which wasn't necessarily bad.

Nick swore he'd die with this boots on, on some exotic safari, but he found his Kilimanjaro in a hospital on Earth, where they'd cured everything that was bothering him, except for the galloping pneumonia he'd picked up in the hospital. That had been, roughly, two hundred and fifty years ago. I'd been a pallbearer.

I grew up in Rhodesia on my father's ranch and every year he used to take us on safari in some remote area of the wilderness.

I've never been on safari because I've got a phobia of bugs. I just don't want things crawling on me when I'm sleeping. It's a shame given my passion for big cats. But I really enjoy photography, so I'd love to photograph leopards in the wild some day.

To a lot of Africans, seeing an animal is a something of a rarity. So it's a paradox of this sort of parallel life. A safari is an expensive experience and it's adjacent to a place where people are having a very tough time.

If you're Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, if you're in Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, you don't get out of your vehicle and go walking around amid the lions and the leopards. You stay in your Land Rover. You stay in your safari van, and you look out the windows or you look out the pop top at these animals. I know by experience how badly that can work out if you violate those guidelines.

The poverty fighters resent the climate-change folks; climate folks hold summits without reference to biodiversity; the food advocates resist the biodiversity protectors. They all need to go on safari together.

I go on a hunting safari at least once a year to Botswana, which is fantastic because we have a huge area of wilderness entirely to ourselves. My island covers roughly 55 acres, which again I have to myself, with nearly half a kilometre of private beach with my own jetties and boats.

I feel that, in a sense, the writer knows nothing any longer. He has no moral stance. He offers the reader the contents of his own head, a set of options and imaginative alternatives. His role is that of a scientist, whether on safari or in his laboratory, faced with an unknown terrain or subject. All he can do is to devise various hypotheses and test them against the facts.

I'd like to go on a hardcore safari in Africa, something off the beaten track with anti-poaching people and camping out in the savannah.
