"As the sun set over the Savannah I thanked God for gin and tonic!
There is something romantic about sipping gin and tonic on the verandah of your lodge at the end of a dazzling day on the Savannah in Africa, and quietly imagining you are living in colonial times whilst watching the valiant sun set over your own wild slice of the dark continent.
I’m not sure that those days really were all that romantic? Africa was no picnic; many colonials died from malaria, they had run ins with local tribesmen, were bitten by snakes and mauled by lions in their attempt to tame this feral land.
But most of those who survived fell in love with Africa, and I can now appreciate why. I find it difficult, however, to explain exactly why… it just seems to crawl under your skin and render you besotted. My best summation would include endless skies, massive sunsets, theatrical storms, enigmatic culture and every day harboring the unexpected, keeping every sense alive. It’s a complicated combination to replicate and to date I have not found it in any other corner of the world.
I also thank God, or more pertinently, Kumuka, for a comfortable bed in a lodge at the end of every day’s adventure. I dread heading home to my concrete jungle and already I have plans to return and let my spirit roam free again."
This is a letter sent by one of Kumukas clients who enjoyed one of their African Safaris.
