Africa

Think of Africa and your imagination runs wild.

Beautiful images from the blockbuster Out of Africa pass before your mind's eye, Casablanca takes it a step further. The reality of contemporary Africa goes much further than your imagination.

The African bush is unmatched when it comes to diversity of flora and fauna. A safari in Kenya, Botswana, Namibia or South Africa is something you will not forget for the rest of your life. When it comes to nature, Africa has many more highlights. The impressive Kilimanjaro and the Victoria Falls, for example, are breathtakingly beautiful.

Culturally, African history is at least as varied. UNESCO has declared many manifestations of this as World Heritage. Luxor and the pyramids of Gezeh in Egypt are the best known, but also the churches of Lalibela. Many cities in Africa breathe history. In the Moroccan royal cities you imagine yourself in a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights. Other cities are deadened by the colonial past. The Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch, Germans and English left interesting traces there.

In this book you will find the pearls and hidden treasures of the African continent in terms of nature, culture, architecture and the original population. Come along on a journey!
