Considered by most scientists to be the origin of mankind, Africa is a continent of 53 independent countries and a rich mix of native peoples, cultures, economies and history. Almost completely encircled by water, it's home to vast deserts, tropical rain forests, rugged mountains and fertile grasslands. Its National Parks and wildlife preserves, as well as incredible natural beauty attracts an ever-increasing level of tourists from around the globe.
