Authentic, Real Life view of the African Continent.....Highly Recommended!

I think travel to Africa is on everyone's bucket list. It seems so far away and mysterious. The author brings you right there, and not in a Trip Advisor way, but in a real life way. When I travel, I like to immerse myself in the local culture and avoid the tourist spots.

This book fits my needs completely. It brings a completely authentic feel and vision about so many countries from her birthplace in Senegal all the way up to Egypt. If you want to start researching Africa or simply want to learn more, this book is for you.

You would be crazy to not read this book. It is truly Inspiring.

This shows a side of Africa I never read much about. The real life adventures of a brave young woman as she travels through several countries. Her experiences with flying planes (and related mishaps!) was great to experience through her words and pictures. It's a unique publication, written in a very personal style. A great way to start learning about travel in Africa.

Ndeye is pure passion! She takes you beyond your imagination with her images and words. The pictures take you there and really get you feeling the moment she was in. As an x-flight attendant and someone who has travelled all over the world and seen many places it was really great to see someone that shares their experiences so authentically and realistically. This book is a must read for anyone who has traveled, wants to travel or just wants to expand their cultural and ethnic knowledge!

I loved this book! Ndeye Labadens descriptions are so detailed its as if you are on the trip with her!

A Mesmerizing Adventure

Ndeye Labadens takes us on a beautiful adventure through Africa. I felt like I was there experiencing the landscape and the culture for myself. I dream of visiting Africa in person someday and after reading this book even more so! Until I can make that happen, ​African Memories satisfies that itch.

An absolute all-rounder. Very pleased to read African Memories and used my imagination a lot to navigate through as the narration went on. As someone who has only lived in just one of the many countries (Nigeria) detailed herein, I must say, I have learned much more about the other countries mentioned. The different cities and towns, the cultural differences, the food and the way they were presented gave me much of what I would expect when I go visiting. African Memories will help those like me that have not traversed these countries before to have the basics of what to expect. It also gives information about the resources available on arrival, interesting places to visit and locations of relaxation to wind down when necessary. I will recommend this book as a leisure guide when visiting any of the countries highlighted within this book - put it along in your bag pack and download on your mobile devices as well...very helpful.

Want to know the real Africa? Don’t miss this one!
“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

We often travel by looking up the ‘most-visited spots’ and checking off must-do and must-see places on the list. Ndeye Labadens, through her book, ‘African Memories’ opens our eyes to the art of travel.

Ndeye’s book, “African Memories” is a breathtaking account of her travel memories in 14 countries in the African continent. Her account not only includes offbeat and interesting places that are hardly found on the brochure of a travel agent, but also reveals an unhurried and open perspective that is essential to the spirit of travel.

African memories details her journey through Senegal, Ghana, The Gambia, Mauritania, Cote D’Ivoire or Ivory Coast, Morocco Cameroon, Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, Libya, Benin, Cabo Verde and Mali. Ndeye takes us through these countries be donning several roles- as a small plane pilot, a model, traveler or a student. Every country holds a few fascinating secrets deep close to its heart and reading Ndeye’s book feels like she is gently coaxing the place to reveal itself to her.

This book takes you through the smells and sights of the place. It is so fresh and intimate that the reader would feel the beaches on his skin, or the touch of perfume of the forests on his nostrils, the taste of local cuisines on this tongue. ‘African tribes’ is not just a generic term bundling everyone together, but become unique groups of people to be understood and admired. As a model, she delves deep into the lifestyle of the African folks at close quarters. She takes you through the high life of luxurious hotels as well as the rustic beauty of the rural dwellers. She tops it will stunning visuals of the places she has visited along with tips on how to make the most of your travel plans.

If you know someone that loves to travel, this could be a great gift idea.
