Hi, welcome!
Nice to meet you & thank your for visiting my website.
A little bit about me…
I am Safari Sophie, a 30 something Africa lover & enthusiast. Smiling, social & bubbly, that’s how people describe me when I talk about ‘My Africa’.
My first trip in Africa was an overland tour in Kenya & Tanzania with a big truck starting in buzzing Nairobi and ending on the exotic beaches of Zanzibar. Only the name of this island makes me feel again in a sunny heaven filled with white sandy beaches, waving palm trees and an all shades of a blue ocean. The spectacular wildlife abundance in between the trip, made my heart skips a beat.
It’s there where my passion for Africa; and the energetic, vibrant and mesmerizing continent began to fill my heart. Since then, I have travelled intensively in Southern & East Africa. I have still so many destinations on my travel wish list.
Africa embraced me, warmed me and never let me go.
The colors, the beauty, the unexpected encounters, the sunshine, sunsets & sunrises overwhelm me. The wise outgoing friendly people, their big white smiles, the sounds, sights and smells. Africa let my soul shine! Yours definitely too.
Collecting memories & beautiful stories of this heart warming & heart filling continent is what I love to do.
I am happy to share my love for Africa with you. Africa inspires me every time again. I hope you will be inspired too.
Now it’s time to fly solo & work on my personal passion projects.
