Sunset over the Serengeti, Tanzania
When I close my eyes and think of Africa, I think in 50 shades of orange.
From the rich amber soil, to the imposing sand dunes of the Namib Desert, the sunlit wide open plains of the Serengeti or the ochre covered skin of the Himba women, to the sunsets – everything the light touches seems to glow with orange.

April 27, 2014 at 4:11 pmThank you Katie! I love how orange everything is in Africa! My face tends to be very orange and dusty whilst I’m there… not such a good look! 🙂
