AFRICA'S PHYSICAL FEATURES
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania
The city of Cairo is on the Nile
Rocky peaks in the Sahara Desert
This continent's physical features are impressive.
From mountains and sleeping volcanoes, like Mount Kilimanjaro, to some of the world’s deepest lakes and grassy plains, there’s so much to see in Africa.
Lake Victoria is the world's second largest inland lake.
Many millions of people in Egypt depend on the River Nile for their water.
Africa has the second largest tropical rainforest in the world.
Africa's Congo Rainforest is home to many different animals. Our favourite is the stripey Okapi.

The Sahara Desert

Okapi: also known as the forest giraffe
The Congo Rainforest
The world’s largest hot desert is called the Sahara. El Azizia, in Libya, is the place where the hottest temperature ever was recorded. It was a scorching 57 °C!
Not many people live here, but some plants and animals can survive in this desert.
The River Nile is the world’s longest river. It flows north from Lake Victoria all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.

AFRICA'S PHYSICAL FEATURES
Key words:
Ring-tailed lemurs of Madagascar
Herds of wildebeest and zebra on the move
The island of Madagascar is famous for its wonderful wildlife that doesn’t live anywhere else. There are more than a hundred types of lemur in Madagascar, including the rather shy aye aye.
Odd and Izzi couldn’t get a snap of the aye aye. It only comes out at night, but these ring- tailed lemurs really put on a show!
Four out of the five fastest land animals live on this continent:
• cheetah• wildebeest• lion• Thomson’s gazelle
Madagascar’s wildlife
The African savanna
Savanna is the name for places where grasses grow to knee height and umbrella-shaped trees dot the landscape.
In the Serengeti, millions of animals move together, following the rains that make the grass grow in the savanna. There’s such a lot going on in Africa!

AFRICA'S PHYSICAL FEATURES
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania
The city of Cairo is on the Nile
Rocky peaks in the Sahara Desert
This continent's physical features are impressive. From towering, rocky peaks and sleeping volcanoes, like Mount Kilimanjaro, to some of the world’s deepest lakes and grassy plains, packed with life in the Great Rift Valley, there’s so much to see in Africa.
Lake Victoria is the world's second largest inland lake. Only Lake Superior in North America is larger. See if you can find Lake Victoria on a map of Africa – it’s huge! The River Nile is the world’s longestriver. It flows north from Lake Victoria all the wayto the Mediterranean Sea.
Many millions of people in Egypt depend on the River Nile for their water.
Africa has the second largest tropical rainforest in the world. Only the Amazon in South America is larger. Africa's Congo Rainforest is home to many different animals. Our favourite is the stripey Okapi, otherwise known as the forest giraffe.
