FACTS ABOUT AFRICA

Size Comparison:
area of Africa 30.37 million km²
area of China 9.60 million km²
area of USA 9.80 million km²
the area of Europe is 10.18 million km²

Africa has 1.3 billion inhabitants on 30.37 million m²
China has a population of 1.4 billion in 9.60 million km²

Africa is thus larger than all of Europe, China and the USA combined. But on most world maps, Africa is represented in reduced size. This was done on purpose to create the visual effect of a smaller Africa. The continent is extremely diverse both in terms of natural resources, cultural diversity and climatic zones. The business potential itself is slowly showing itself.

Kenya and Nairobi

Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya. The name comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nairobi, which translates to “cold water”, a reference to the Nairobi River that flows through the city. The city has a developed road infrastructure, recently the Chinese made a highway through the city, which is raised on pillars and partially relieved the city. However, it is indescribably crowded at rush hour with old buses and vans, which represent the bulk of city transport, as over 1 million people migrate to and from work every day. Modern buildings and areas of cities show a clear picture of progress and wealth, while certain areas show all poverty.
