Africa

From the cradle of civilization along the Nile River in Egypt to the Serengeti Plains teeming with wildlife, to the vast deserts of Namibia, Africa is a continent of contrasts and beauty. The second most populous land after Asia, Africa enjoys abundant resources. Remnants of the colonial era are gradually vanishing as many countries struggle to win self-determination. The wonder of the Pyramids, the breathtaking view of snow-capped Kilimanjaro, the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean off Mozambique, and the thrill of walking among giraffes in Kenya are among the treasures of this seemingly unending landscape.
