Exploring Africa is the fourth book in a series of Buddy The. Globetrotter travel tales. Africa lures us, perhaps like no other place on Earth. Why? Is it the diversity of life and landscapes on our second largest continent, the prior heart of the supercontinent Pangaea? Or is it because humankind arose from the grasslands of her interior millions of years ago? Whatever the lure, our understanding of her mystique can be molded by exploring her major ecosystems and how their inhabitants survive. Buddy takes us on a journey from the coastal environments and ancient medinas of Morocco, and into the high Atlas Mountains of Northern Africa. Learn about the current and ancient cultures of the people who inhabit those areas. Explore life in the Sahara Desert, an area covering the northern third of the continent. Discover the challenges to survival, as Buddy does when he becomes "lost luggage" and ends up in Southern Africa. Explore savanna ecosystems that cover half of the continent, as Buddy relates tales of his experiences in the Kalahari Desert and its lush Okavango Delta. Broaden your understanding of the history of Africa, as you visit Cape Town and the very tip of this cradle of humankind. C'mon, join Buddy on another informative, interesting, and intimate adventure. You'll be glad you did.
