From the Editors Desk: Africa Edition 2024
In her book West with the Night, Beryl Markham eloquently captures the essence of Africa:
“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just ‘home’. It is all these things but one thing–it is never dull.”
― Beryl Markham, West with the Night
Markham’s words resonate deeply as they encapsulate the myriad facets of Africa. It is a land of contrasts and profound beauty, a continent that defies simple characterization. As she wisely notes, Africa withstands all interpretations, and it is in this spirit that we present our annual Africa Edition of Feathers & Whiskey.

This July, we are proud to offer a truly special edition. Since we began our journey to explore Africa two years ago, I have imagined what our cover might look like if we had a full magazine. This year, that vision has come to life. I am thrilled to present to you the Africa Edition of Feathers & Whiskey in a complete magazine format. Though it remains digital, you can now flip through the pages as you embark on a safari with us.
In this issue, we are excited to share a rich tapestry of stories that celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of Africa. Our goal has always been to showcase all aspects of this incredible continent, not just the hunting. This edition is a celebration of Africa’s culture, wildlife, landscapes, and the indomitable spirit of its people.
We have poured our hearts into creating content that we hope will educate, inspire, and transport you to the heart of Africa. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or someone who dreams of visiting one day, this edition is for you.
Thank you for being a part of our Feathers & Whiskey family. We hope you enjoy our interpretation of Africa and find as much joy in reading this issue as we did in creating it. There are exciting things to come for Feathers & Whiskey
Warm regards,
Editor-in-Chief
