SAHEL
The Sahel spans 5,400 km from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east.
It covers an area of 3,053,200 square kilometers.
It is a transitional ecoregion of semi-arid grasslands, savannas, steppes, and thorn shrublands.
The topography of the Sahel is mainly flat.

WHITE NILE
The White Nile is a river of Africa, one of the two main tributaries of the Nile from Egypt.
In the strict meaning, "White Nile" refers to the river formed at Lake No.
The source of the Nile can be considered to be either the Ruvyironza, or the Nyabarongo.
The term White Nile refers to the approximately 3,700 kilometres of rivers draining from Lake Victoria.

GREAT RIFT VALLEY
The Great Rift Valley as originally described was thought to extend from Lebanon in the north to Mozambique in the south.
The River Jordan begins here and flows southward through Lake Hula into the Sea of Galilee in Israel.
The East African rift has two branches, the Western Rift Valley and the Eastern Rift Valley.
The Western Rift, also called the Albertine Rift, is edged by some of the highest mountains in Africa.
5.
LAKE VICTORIA
Lake Victoria is one of the African Great Lakes.
With a surface area of 68,800 square kilometres, Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest lake by area.
It is also the largest tropical lake in the world.
Lake Victoria occupies a shallow depression in Africa and has a maximum depth of 84 m and an average depth of 40 m.
6.
CANARY ISLANDS
The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago located just off the northwest coast of mainland Africa.
The archipelago's important natural attractions make it a major tourist destination with over 12 million visitors.
Tenerife is the most populous island, and also the largest island of the archipelago.
The islands form the Macaronesia ecoregion with the Azores, Cape Verde, Madeira, and the Savage Isles.
7.
ATLAS MOUNTAINS
The mountains have been home to a number of plant and animal species unique in Africa.
The highest peak is Toubkal, with an elevation of 4,165 metres in southwestern Morocco.
The Atlas ranges separate the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines from the Sahara Desert.
The population of the Atlas Mountains is mainly Berbers.
