Rhythm of Africa
Wherever you go in Africa, you’ll find rhythm. Africa exudes a simple rhythm, a strikingly basic one, and it is not generated by small plastic objects with LED lights and earphones plugs. In Africa, the beat often blends so smoothly with the background that you have to concentrate to hear it. only then do you realise that Africa is, in fact, the rhythm.
Of course, music is part of this pulse. So is the flapping of a bird’s wings, or the drumming of hooves across the Serengeti plains.
You can hear it in the beat in a thousand waterfalls, or in the tapping of a humble toktokkie. Africa is filled with it. And people-even-people- contribute to the repeated melody that makes Africa unique. It’s been like that since the dawn of time, and it will be like that forever.

Going the extra mile
The extra mile is a vast, unpopulated wasteland - Most people who go there think, "Wait... no one else is here... why am I doing this?" and leave, never to return. However, for us this is a familiar territory. We thrive in the extra mile. We make the extra phone call, stay up extra late, get up extra early, make sure the coffee is extra hot and the juice extra cold! Anything possible to make your stay extra special!
