Today, I’ll attempt to narrate and analyze Luna Okko’s East Africa Safari in the style of Sir David Attenborough.
Luna Okko, the Vietnamese-French internet sensation, found herself teetering on the precipice of fear, hesitation, and uncertainty when confronted with the suggestion of touring East Africa alongside her French partner. The very thought of Africa—a continent plagued by hunger, disease, poverty, civil wars, and primitive energy according to western media biased reporting—had eluded their travel aspirations. While Africa had never been on their travel radar before, they somehow kept an open mind and took the leap, or is it plunge, albeit half-heartedly.
As much as Luna states it took convincing from a friend who had been living and working in East Africa for over a year, I suspect her rebellious nature, unconventional lifestyle, and desire for extreme novelty experiences, like the high she felt when she first had sex in public, tilted the scale in favor of the fetishized primitive energy of the African continent. Not to sensationalize the primitive aspect, but if you think about it objectively, western tourists are hardly attracted to crowded cities, ugly high-rise buildings, horrendous traffic-jams, littered shopping malls, and indigenous people in corporate suits, as they have those in their own home countries and Western societies.
Luna and her partner were evidently bored with the familiar aspects of Western urban life and sought to escape mundane existence by seeking something different and novel, which they hoped Africa might offer, despite the challenges and preconceptions associated with the continent.
