Africa is big. But do you realize just how big?

It’s immense – probably much, much larger than you thought. Africa’s true size is 30 million square km…almost 2x the size of Russia. Africa is so big it easily swallows the USA, China, India, Japan…. AND Europe.

The US can actually fit comfortably into Africa three times….The UK can fit into Africa over 120 times!

We’re all probably guilty of generalizing when we think ‘Africa’…yet there are 54 nations in Africa each with countless cities, towns and villages.. There are 1,250 to 2,100 and by some counts over 3,000 languages spoken natively in Africa. This is not a piece of land that can be generalized!
