africa. "the dark continent" they say. i say its one of the most beautiful places on our planet. i just watched an old nature documentary about "The Big Five" (the five "greatest" animals in africa- the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the buffalo and the rhino), and i got cold shivers from seeing the familiar yet very distant images of nature, they are simply awe inspiring. especially the animals in africa. im telling you now, if you havent been to africa, make sure you do so in the near future. the african wilderness is unique in the world, and it is magnificent. i have been fortunate enough to have had the chance to live in namibia, and visit many other southern african countries and thus take in part of the glory of the continent. but im am planning on visiting the continent within the next 5years. it is an amazing place. i have nothing but affection and love for everything that is africa.
