#LOVEAFRICA | Meet the Top 12!

By Tamlin Wightman on January 27, 2014

Africa excites us. It’s like watching Emile Hirsch chase furious white rapids in “Into the Wild”. We get giddy for it. Sitting still becomes impossible. Travel shakes you up, wakes you up, reminds you of words like purpose, meaning, life. Africa, even more so.

Whether galloping across the Serengeti plains on horseback, hiking up the snow-capped cliffs of Mount Kili with colobus monkeys or tracking leopards in an open Land Rover, Africa gives us that Bear Gryll’s feeling of invincibility and of utter awe. It is life-giving. It is life-changing, and it reminds us of the wildness within ourselves.

And that’s only one reason we #loveafrica.

In our #loveafrica Instagram competition, we wanted to know why YOU love Africa.

We loved your answers so much that we compiled them into a #loveafrica video.

You have chosen the Top 12 (through Instagram likes). Take a look at them below. We’ll announce the winner on 3 FEBRUARY 2014.
