Does Africa Hold the Key to Finding Yourself?

By Michelle Welvering on January 16, 2024

Over the past 20 years, we've had a wild and wondrous journey of growth and self-discovery! Our two-decade adventure has been a heart-stirring blend with Africa's spirit. Your stories intertwine with ours, making this celebration all the more special. As we embrace this milestone, let's revel in how African travels have the power to fuel passions and shape futures.

Pause and Ponder

Take time for yourself. In the hustle of everyday life, the moments of solitude and reflection are scarce. We've seen first-hand how Africa's landscapes offer the perfect backdrop for this introspection.

From the serene savannahs of the Serengeti and Maasai Mara to the rhythmic waves lapping powdery-white sands of the Indian Ocean Islands, Africa is a sanctuary where time seems to stand still, allowing you to press pause and enjoy the moment.

Choose Your Tempo

Take time to do everything. And to do nothing. Africa, in its boundless diversity, offers endless possibilities. Whether you're seeking a Big 5 safari or a peaceful retreat in a secluded lodge, our continent entertains every desire.

It's a place where you can chase the sunrise on a morning safari in the Greater Kruger National Park, enjoy a helicopter flight above the mighty Victoria Falls, or even spend the afternoon sipping sundowners in the quiet company of Madagascar's lemurs beneath ancient baobab trees. The choice to engage or to unwind is entirely yours.

Off the Grid, Into the Wild

Take time to switch off. In our digitally-dominated world, disconnecting is a luxury. Inhale the fresh, unpolluted air, listen to the wildlife symphony, and savour evenings where the only luminescence is from the moon and stars.

Venture Boldly

Take time to challenge yourself, to try something new. Africa inspires bravery and curiosity. It's a land where you can conquer fears and embrace new experiences.

Picture yourself summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, navigating the watery tendrils of the Okavango Delta, dominating the churning rapids of the Zambezi River, or learning the ancient tracking skills from a Maasai warrior. Each exciting endeavour not only challenges the body but also broadens the mind.

Cultural Crossroads

Take time to gain perspective, to be selfless. Travelling through Africa, you'll encounter diverse cultures and communities. These interactions offer profound lessons in empathy. Understanding their lives, their victories, and their struggles, you gain a newfound appreciation for the human experience.

Engaging with Africa's people often inspires a deep-seated desire to contribute positively and make a meaningful difference in the world. It's life-changing – quite literally!

Life's Grand Scale

Take time to reflect, to broaden your horizons. The African landscape, with its timeless beauty and indescribable vastness is a mirror reflecting your deepest thoughts and aspirations. It's where horizons are not just geographical but also personal, expanding your understanding of the world and your place within it.

About the author 

Michelle Welvering

Growing up, Michelle always wanted to become a world-renowned artist, a kickboxing-champion and an eccentric explorer – aka a Kickboxing Exploring Artist! After pursuing an education in Fine Arts and opening her own Kickboxing gym in Pretoria, an unexpected twist led her to a six-year stint as a travel consultant in South African tourism. She believes that all things happen for a reason and, driven by adventure, she was eager to find a more “wild” and cultural space to call home. This led her to wander the Western Cape coastline, fall in love with the city of Cape Town and, of course, her workplace, Rhino Africa.
