Understanding Africa
Africa is the world’s second-largest and second-most-populous continent, a vast landmass of 54 sovereign countries stretching from the Mediterranean coast and the Sahara Desert in the north to the Cape of Good Hope in the south. It is the birthplace of humanity and home to extraordinary cultural, linguistic and ecological diversity, from the Nile and the Serengeti to the Congo rainforest.
