Welcome to Africa, the second largest continent in the world with over 642 million people living there, but surprisingly the length of coastlines compared to the country is less than that of any other continent. This rather native website investigates the culture, sights, sounds and lifestyles of average African people, also including pictures, a guest book to have your say and links to other related websites. Hi I'm Radhika Jadavji the creator of this rather exciting yet inspiring website about the joys of Africa, where my mum, grandma and cousins came from. Anyway, after the nation's successful bid to host Olympics 2000 was thwarted by Sydney in Australia, the country has continued to grow as Africa covers one fifth of the worlds surface and by 2050 (long time to go!) it's estimated that nearly a quarter of the worlds population will be in Africa. This is due to better medical facilities after the war, decrease in death rate, and huge populations habiting the coast and mainly Nigeria. Obviously, the Sahara and Kalahari deserts including Mount Kilimanjaro cover huge areas of inhabited land where the sheer beauty of the country is shown. If you like culture, there are thousands of ethnic groups with more than a thousand languages, different types of food, religion, dress and tribal roles, although black Africans make up the majority of the population.
