Moving THE AFRICAN CULTURE FORWARD
a
concept was born from a passionate desire to dispel the negative perceptions, which the world has held of the African continent, and to replace them with a positive focus. That concept took form in the launch of the Nomad Africa project in 2012. The project involves using all available media platforms to promote and celebrate the
African continent. Nomad Africa celebrates life on the African continent and promotes its vibrant pulse through our Pan-Africanist ideology, to encourage the solidarity of Africans worldwide. It aims to foster a strong interest in the continent's cultural heritage, unique tourist attractions and countless business development and investment opportunities, with the millions of people living in, investigating or visiting Africa. Nomad Africa inspires and breeds a conscious, knowledgeable generation of visionaries among our own, and influences positive perceptions and appreciation for the true worth of Africa worldwide. Nomad Africa print magazine is an elegant, luxury magazine targeting the tourism, travel, social, political, cultural and business fields prevailing in Africa and is circulated in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Kenya and other countries across the African continent.
