Africa is often thought of as a single place in the media and pop culture. We see alot of people, writters, journalists, movies directors etc adress Africa as a country. But the continent contains 54 countries, thousands of cultures, an estimated 3000 languages, and widely divergent landscapes. Africa is home to the largest desert on earth (the Sahara). The Sahara covers large parts of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan and Tunisia. It covers 9 million square kilometres (3,500,000 sq mi), amounting to 31% of Africa. Africa also hosts the highest free-standing mountain in the world (Kilimanjaro, in Tanzania). Madagascar itself has more unique genera of bird species than any other African country. Am constantly washed away with what Africa offers. Have you walked along white sand beaches in Zanzibar, safari with the great Serengeti in Tanzania, trekked with gorillas in Uganda, walked lush winelands in South Africa and Hidden Marakesh in Morocco? Talking about it like one big place is kind of like saying that Europe, U.S.A or Asia is one big place. With Africa, you can’t generalize.
