Exploring The Rich & Diverse Lifestyle Of The People Of Africa
Introduction
Africa is the world’s second largest continent and the most culturally, linguistically, and ethnically diverse. It contains 55 sovereign countries, 9 territories and 2 de facto states. This diversity is evident in its landscapes which include mountains, rivers, forests and plains; deserts and savannas; coastlines on the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Red Sea; lakes such as Victoria (Africa’s largest lake) or Tanganyika; and jungles of equatorial Africa.
The Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is a geological formation that stretches from eastern Africa to the Red Sea. It’s one of the most biologically diverse places on earth, and it also serves as a major source of water for the continent. In addition to being home to many unique species–some endangered–it has been home to humans since prehistoric times.
The Sahara Desert
The Sahara is the largest desert in the world, covering most of North Africa. It is also one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, with temperatures reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius during summer months and annual rainfall averaging less than 3 inches (80 mm).
The Sahara stretches across an area approximately 3,000 kilometers long from east to west, and 1,500 kilometers wide from north to south; it covers some 9 million square kilometers (3 million square miles), which makes up about 30{a6d4e250f4dbd7c38290d51a301669b0b15c2bd58d8474132f85a8137f152abc} of Africa’s total land mass.[1]
A Lake Of Fish & Life
Lake Malawi is the third largest lake in Africa, and it’s home to an incredible amount of life. The lake is a haven for fish, birds and other wildlife that thrive in its warm waters. It’s also known as the Lake of Stars because of its sparkling beauty at night when viewed from space!
The Lake Malawi National Park was established in 1973 to protect this natural wonder from being overfished or polluted by humans. Today it remains one of Africa’s most important ecological sites–so much so that UNESCO designated it as a World Heritage Site in 1984!
The Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park is the largest game reserve in Africa and home to the migration of wildebeest and zebra. It’s also home to lions, cheetahs and leopards!
The Maasai people are an ethnic group located in Kenya (and Tanzania), who inhabit large parts of southern Kenya along with northern Tanzania. They are semi-nomadic pastoralists who raise cattle as well as goats and sheep for their livelihoods. Their culture has been influenced by other African tribes such as Kikuyu people who reside nearby them in Nairobi city where they have migrated from rural areas into urban ones over time due to modernization processes taking place within their societies duringcolonial times when Europeans first colonized Africa starting from 1488 onwards until today’s modern world where we live today as citizens under democratic rule systems set forth by European settlers centuries ago which included abolishing slavery practices amongst other things like gender equality laws etcetera
Victoria Falls & The Zambezi River
Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The falls are located on the Zambezi River in Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are over 100 meters high and span across two countries: Zambia (to the north) and Zimbabwe (to the south).
The Zambezi River flows down from Lake Kariba through Zambia before joining with another river at Kazungula Bridge near Victoria Falls town center where it then continues flowing into Botswana before emptying into Letaba Dam just outside Maun, Botswana’s second largest city after Gaborone.
