Africa holds a certain type of mystique in the minds of those steeped in western culture. A land of geographical, biological and cultural diversity, it is a land of endless sweeping vistas, thunderous waterfalls, deep dense forest, and lofty mountain peaks. It is a land where big game roam the earth, giant silverback gorillas contemplate in the misty forest regions, and the people dance and sing in celebration of life. This is a land that deep down, everyone wants to explore, but very few take the step.
