Africa is the second largest continent. Steamy tropical rain forests cover parts of western and central Africa. The Sahara, the world’s largest desert, stretches across most of the northern part. The longest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Tanganyika, lies in eastern Africa.
A sea separates most of Africa and Asia, but in one place the two continents meet.
Africa has 54 countries. Its largest country is Algeria. The smallest is Seychelles. Most Africans live in rural areas, but some live in cities such as Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, Cape Town in South Africa, and Lagos in Nigeria.
Many people travel to Africa to study its wild animals, visit such ancient sites as the pyramids of Egypt, or see such natural wonders as Victoria Falls and Kilimanjaro, a towering volcano that is no longer active.
