Africa, the 'Dark Conntinent' is huge. From the Arabic countries in the north
through the Sahara Desert to the Zulus in the south, Africa straddles the equator
and encompasses two temperate zones. It is also widely believed to be the continent
longest inhabited by humans.
Travelling to Africa
Flying to Africa is relatively easy. Popular destinations such as Cairo, Johannesburg,
Tangier and Mombasa are served by various European airlines such as British Airways,
KLM, Lufthansa and Alitalia.
Within Africa the internal transport systems of most countries are poor.
Travel is best organised with the help of hotels and specialist private
travel companies.
