African nature is the frame, greater than Homo sapiens itself, since it is the environment that over millions of years shaped us into who we are today. Romans spoke of mal d'Africa describing it as a capturing embrace that, if once experienced, was never forgotten. Modern Westerners have been fascinated by the mystery, without being able to put words to the experience.
For a first-time visitor the meeting with Africa can be an almost shattering experience. So many new impressions in such a short time.
One should therefore prepare and then take it easy once you are traveling.
Do not rush between the parks to "keep up". The grand context is lost. It is needed to fully enjoy the performance Africa offers.
It also provides a new perspective on our role in life and relationship with nature.
