Africa, the world’s second-largest continent in terms of land area and population, holds a prominent position on the global stage, rivalling only Asia. With over 11,724,000 square miles (30,365,000 square km), Africa covers approximately one-fifth of the Earth’s land surface. Its geographical features are diverse and captivating, with the continent bisected by the Equator, positioning most of its territory within the tropical region.

Within Africa’s 54 recognized countries, a select few nations stand out due to their extensive landmass, significantly impacting regional and global affairs. Africa truly showcases its abundant geographical wealth, from arid deserts to lush rainforests, towering mountains to sprawling plains.
