Africa is amazing.

Africa is exciting.

Africa is adventure.

Africa is black AND white.

No matter where you stand. From any angle possible. No matter how long you look at it.

No matter from any side of the spectrum.

What you see is what you get. There is no other stock at the market.

More importantly, when you look into a face. A happy face. A face that’s welcoming. A face, a face that says ‘Nice to be here’. This could be anywhere but always happens when you don’t expect it. No matter what colour.

Zimba is black and white. He represents exactly what Africa is about.

Black and White happiness. Anywhere he goes.

Africa is dangerous.

Africa is violent.

Africa is business. Business before someone else does.

Africa is unpredictable. You need to keep your wits up.

But if you read the situation well enough and you are yourself, react naturally, friendly, but confident!

It is vital to keep your guard up in ANY situation.

Common Sense is the contributing factor. There’s no app for it. It’s something that comes in naturally if you let it. But Common Sensible isn’t all that common anymore.

You must blend in. Like a chameleon, change to the preferred colour needed for each situation.

Anyways, that’s what I do. It couldn’t be any better.

Not only in Africa.

I am thankful for all the good friends I call my friends, anywhere on this planet.

There is trust. There is faith. There is laughter.

In 33 years, I never had a single punch-up.

Or been eaten by lions. But we had a lot of fun.

You all know the old travelling days.

How lucky am I that I am still going it?

How lucky am I to call you my friends?

I am the luckiest man alive.
