Spending some time to try come up with my list of top books about Africa proved to be a wonderful trip down memory lane. The list in all fairness ended up being the first 20 to pop in to my head versus my actual top 20 – however I would say it was pretty close to it.

Considering how much fun I had, I decided to carry on with the theme of my top lists and so am very excited to share with you my next list – my top 20 movies on Africa (the next after this will be the top 20 nature reserves I have been to over the last 3 years!).

With about 40 hours of entertainment pleasure below, hopefully this list will help full up some of days during this time in lockdown. Please be sure to let us know if we are missing any of your favourites…
