Iconic singer and songwriter Kelis Rogers, known for her unique sound and boundary-pushing style, has taken to social media to share her awe-inspiring experiences during her recent visit to Cape Town, South Africa.
The musician, who has made a point of exploring the African continent, showcased the stunning beauty of one of the world’s most captivating locales.
In a series of posts on Instagram, Kelis expressed her sheer delight while visiting iconic landmarks such as Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope. Describing her journey up Table Mountain, she remarked, “It feels like you’re literally in the heavens; that is insane.”
The views from the summit, overlooking Cape Town and the sweeping Atlantic Ocean, are nothing short of breathtaking, and Kelis enjoyed a scenic ride on the famous cableway, which adds to the allure of this natural wonder.
The visit was not just about the majestic landscapes; it was also filled with unique encounters. While at the Cape of Good Hope, Kelis had an unexpected meeting with an ostrich, embodying the vibrant wildlife that SA is renowned for.
This is not her first visit to Africa. The multi-talented artist has travelled extensively across the continent, with previous visits to places including Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
She has consistently expressed her admiration for Africa, actively working to challenge single narratives that often depict a homogenised and negatively skewed image of the continent.
“We have all been shown one image of the largest, most diverse continent in the world. And while yes, there are socio-economic differences like anywhere else, I think it’s only right to show a different reality that I’ve seen for myself.
The continent is bustling with energy, culture, and beauty. This is Africa,” she said in a heartfelt video shared with her followers.
Kelis' authentic portrayal of her experiences serves not only as a celebration of Africa’s rich tapestry of cultures but also invites others to redefine their perceptions and engage with the continent on a deeper level.
As she delves into her adventures, fans and followers alike are left inspired to explore the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures that Africa has to offer.
