Africa’s Beauty The continent of Africa encompasses vast lands with endless diversity. From Botswana, which is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, to the Okavango Delta, one of the world's largest inland river deltas, South Africa contains some of the oldest archaeological and human-fossil sites in the world. Archaeologists have recovered extensive fossil remains from a series of caves in Gauteng Province. The area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been branded "the Cradle of Humankind”. Kenya has considerable land area devoted to wildlife habitats, including the Masai Mara, where blue wildebeest participate in a large-scale annual migration. The "Big Five" game animals of Africa, that is the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros, and elephant, can be found in Kenya. Kilimanjaro is the fourth most topographically prominent peak on Earth.
