Africa is a vast continent. In fact, it's the world's second-largest and most populous continent (second only to Asia!). It's home to over fifty countries and island nations, as well as the most different languages on Earth. Africa's unique geography covers 6 percent of the Earth's surface. It may be the hottest continent, but it still isn't the driest (that would be Australia).
The African continent spans from the river deltas of North Africa, through the Sahara, (which is the world's hottest desert and larger than the United States), past the tropical Congo Basin, over the broad plains and savannahs, and all the way down to the stormy Cape of Good Hope.
