WILL BIRTLES
“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 confinent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths?”
These lyrical, emotive words by esteemed travel writer Brian Jackman seem perfect to introduce our Wildlife Issue, in which we endeavour to celebrate the “magic” of African fauna. Compiling this edition has been one of our most ambitious and fun projects in Travel Africa’s 20-year history.
