Africa is a huge place. Diverse countries with ancient traditions co-exist with emerging nations embracing technological change. Some of the last indigenous populations on the globe can be found in Africa, and there are languages still in use that are known to less than 100 people worldwide. How do we learn more?
We want an exploration that goes beyond the travel channels. A pampered safari catering to the rich is hardly an honest look at the cultures of Africa. Can we discover the true stories? Can we meet real people who never see the spotlight?
