Did you know? Karen Bowerman, for CNN shares these interesting facts: Alongside desert, there are mountains and rain forests Africa does have vast swathes of desert and flat savanna but also mountainous and exceptionally green parts. There are the sprawling rainforests of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) and the soft green hill country of Senegal, Guinea and Tanzania. For more cultivated greenness, South Africas garden route, on the south-east coast, is so-named because of its lush vegetation and lakes. And not every desert is a stretch of barren wilderness. The Kalahari is known for its spring flowers, while the Namib, the oldest desert in the world, is home to desert-adapted elephant, rhino, giraffe and lion.
