Although we never quite reached the northernmost point, Ras Ben Sakka, the thousands of kilometres we travelled showcased just how immense and diverse Africa truly is. From north to south, the continent stretches approximately 8,000 km, and from east to west about 7,500 km, with the Equator passing through its heart.
