In the Heart of Africa

Get to know Africa as a place of culture, a place of art and a place of heart. And, in some areas, a place of need.

Straddlling the equator and spanning numerous climates; Africa is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones. Once Europeans called Africa "The Dark Continent" for the mysteries inside this huge landmass, but there are no more secrets.

Come and Get to Know Africa!.

Africa,in the past called as the dark continent ,has
always fascinated me.This was further fueled by the
novels of Wilbur Smith,a great writer who takes you
to the unknown nooks and corners of Africa.
It is heartening to note there are many lenses on Africa,and many are on the way.
