Amber Books Ltd Africa: From the Nile Delta to Table Mountain
Book SynopsisThe world’s second-largest and second-most populous continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants, Africa offers a diversity of culture and landscape rarely seen elsewhere – ranging from the Ancient Egyptian kingdom of the pharaohs on the banks of the River Nile to the deepest recesses of the Congo rainforest, one of the most biodiverse environments on the planet. Divided into five chapters by region, Africa is a sumptuous introduction to this most vibrant of continents. Be amazed at the spectacular Victoria Falls, which is the world’s largest sheet of falling water from a height of 108 metres (354ft); explore the Congo River, second largest in the world by volume, as it snakes through the ancient forests of central Africa; enjoy the view from Table Mountain, across Cape Town to the Lion’s Head and the South Atlantic; experience the diversity of creatures in the Serengeti National Park, including herds of wild elephants and Cape Buffalo, as well as their primary predators, lions and leopards; and marvel at the 13th century Dejenne Mosque in Mali, made from wooden scaffolding and clay. Presented in a landscape format with more than 180 vivid photographs of Africa, this book offers a pictorial exploration of this great and varied continent in all its majesty.Table of ContentsIntroduction North Africa Nile river Suez Canal Sinai Luxor Temple, Egypt Pyramids of Giza, Egypt Cairo, Egypt Alexandria, Egypt Aswan, Egypt Abu Simbel, Egypt Leptis Magna, Libya Cyrene, Libya Ras Mohammed National Park, Egypt Atlas Mountains, Morocco Asilah, Morocco Casablanca, Morocco Marrakech, Morocco Traditional leather tanneries, Fez, Morocco Tunis, Tunisia Notre-Dame d'Afrique, Algeria Sahara desert West Africa Ganvie Lake Village, Benin Mole National Park, Ghana Slave forts – Goree Island Coastal Forts, Ghana Sine-Saloum Delta, Senegal Loango National Park, Gabon Timbuktu, Mali Bandiagara, Dogon Country, Mali Kakum National Park, Ghana Djenne, Mali Agadez, Niger Lagos, Nigeria Kano, Nigeria Central Africa Congo River Congo rainforest Mount Nyirangongo Gorillas and bonobos - Virunga National Park in Congo (Kinshasa) Gorillas in Rwanda Kahuzi-Biega National Park Brazzaville, Congo rep Mount Cameroon, Cameroon Zinga, Central African rep Chinko Nature Reserve Boali Falls Lobaye, indigenous tribes, Central African republic San Tome East Africa Lake Victoria Victoria Falls Lake Nyasa Dar es Salaam Mombasa Zambezi River Meroe pyramids, Sudan Khartoum, Sudan Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya Lake Naivasha, Kenya Serengeti NP Cape buffalo, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya Great Migration in Masai Mara, Kenya Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania Zanzibar, Tanzania Traditional Maasai village, Arusha, Tanzania Dasanesh people, Omo Valley, Ethiopia Abuna Yemata Guh church, Ethiopia Southern Africa Dunes in Sossusvlei, Namibia Okavango Delta in Botswana Cape Town/Table Mtn, South Africa Robben Island, South Africa Eastern Cape Game Reserves, SA Garden Route, SA Lions in Kruger National Park, SA Elephant Coast, SA Great Zimbabwe ruins Madagascar rainforest and fauna Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique Lake Malawi
