Many people have not yet explored Africa up to the utmost. It is not only lied the rest of it to the land, but also its water, the river, the savanna, and other area. Actually, even only talking about the rivers, Africa has the top longest rivers in the world but not many people realize it, including me before I write this article J
Yes, it is true that more than a half of Africa is consisted of water resources which are located in eight major river basins and here are the five largest rivers in Africa based on survey.
Nile River. Who is never heard about this river? This is the longest river that we can find in this continent and or in the world. There is still few people live here and the river is still remained wild and untouched. Many of world records have been mentioned about the nature of this area. It even takes around 10% of the whole Africa, the river is separated into two major basins, they are the White Nile and Blue Nile. These “two rivers” are barrier by Rwanda.
Congo River. This is the river with the length around 4.700 km and it is found in a rainfall area, thus there are still wild forests can be found around the river. It is located near the Atlantic Ocean and the flow of the river is intertwined with Amazon River.
Next, we talk about the Niger River. The river has included several river flows from the Atlantic Ocean until the Desert near Timbuktu area. Here you can find two cities, Niger and Benin, border the river through Nigeria.
Zambezi River, the river is length around 2.600 km through the Indian Ocean. The river lies around 1.600 m near the Zambia and Angola basin. It flows through these two places into Botswana, until the delta of Mozambique.
The last but not the least, Africa has Orange River with 2.200 km and it is covered the west side of this continent. The river through Alexander Bay and it still has many forests around it, until the flows of the river water reached Atlantic Ocean.
From these five rivers, it says that we can find many attractions. Some people provided help and information about how to do a discovery or only family trips to visit the river. However, unlike other tourist travel package, I think here we can challenge ourselves to our utmost. The river in wild Africa is not only scary, but also too long to through for a week, thus it is probably taking six months up to a year for us if we want to do travel to the river in Africa. Are you ready to come and explore the river in Africa with me where the gps may not usable?
