Northern Africa
East Africa
Southern Africa
From the arid savannahs of the Sahel to the majestic peaks of the Mandara Mountains, ‘Africa in miniature’ fully lives up to its promise of scenic and geographical diversity.
But the true treasures of this bountiful land are the more than 200 ethnic groups that inhabit it.
Such as the Hidé, with their distinctive calabash headdresses; the Koma, custodians of ancient animist traditions and rituals; and the Musgum, with their mud-brick houses.
