The photographers at Getaway magazine pack their cameras and venture across Africa's vast territories. They document nomads guiding camels through Saharan dunes, mountain gorillas moving through Rwandan forests, and pilots steering microlight aircraft above the thundering waters of Victoria Falls. Each assignment takes them deeper into the continent's diverse regions, from bustling markets to remote wilderness areas. The photographers struggle to capture not just beautiful landscapes and exotic wildlife, but something more elusive: the authentic spirit of African communities and their relationship with the land. Their twenty-year journey becomes a quest to create images that reveal the true character of a continent often misunderstood by outsiders.
