The African continent is considered to be the cradle of civilization as it thought to be the oldest inhabited region on the world map.

The Egyptian civilization which developed along the River Nile is considered to be one of the oldest and most advanced civilizations in the ancient world.

Africa is visibly the second largest continent on all maps being second only to Asia in land area.

According to the map of Africa, it is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea on its northern frontier and the Suez Canal and the Red Sea on the northeastern side with the Atlantic Ocean to the west of it.

An African Safari is the primary travel and tourism attraction but requires maps or human guides due to the vastness of the African terrain.

Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya are some of the popular Safari destinations evident on all maps of the continent depicting a primitive part of the world left untouched by civilization.

The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx in Egypt bear witness to the glorious achievements of the Egyptian civilization. The diamond mines of South Africa and the tribal culture of Africa are also a big draw for tourists.
