From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30.2 million km² (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total land area. With a billion people (as of 2009, see table) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.72% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent has 54 sovereign states, including Madagascar, various island groups, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, a member state of the African Union whose statehood is disputed by Morocco. Africa, particularly central eastern Africa, is widely regarded within the scientific community to be the origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have been dated to around seven million years ago – including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia being dated to circa 200,000 years ago. Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I am planning on going to Africa and would really like some help on choosing my destination. I want a place that is full of culture and I would like to go on a great safari thanks! Asked by Zoey - Thu Dec 24 01:17:27 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hey! What a coincidence, I live in Africa. The best place I could recogment you to is Etosha Pan in Namibia. It has tons of wild animals and you can rent a car and drive anyware! As soon when you land on "Air Namibia" airport, there is a place called Avis, which rents cars. Namibia is a tourist land more than anything else, but please note it's summer here, and it's very hot. So I would recogment getting a car with aircon :-) And if your car break down, don't worry, haha, by dad's a mechanic near Etosha. Alternatively, you can hire a safari guy to take you on a tour, there's a lot of places, I think there's pamflets at the air namibia too.
