Rwenzori Mountains in Africa, also called the Mountains of the Moon, hide its splendor peaks behind a veil almost always of clouds, the wild beauty of covered peaks by snow is revealed only when the fierce winds apart the curtain of fog that surrounds them. Henry Morton Stanley, the explorer who found Dr Livingstone has come to this mountain, previously unknown to Europeans, in 1888. He noted that 300 days a year ridges were covered by a dark cloud, but when it began to dwindle, the view was grand.

Rwenzori is crossed by numerous waterfalls. Greek geographer Ptolemy believed that inside this mountain flows Nile. Sources of the Nile are somewhere else, but Ruwenzori is located exactly where it shows the map of Ptolemy.
Ruwenzori means “the one who brings the rain”, Stanley being the one who gave the names of batnu tribes language, snowy mountains, at only 48 km from the equator. The massif covers about 96 km along the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Seaworthy peaks, covered by glaciers that descend slowly the valleys, reach for the sky in the heart of the mountain, Margherita, one of the peaks of Mount Stanley, amounted to 5110 m altitude.

Permanent fog creates an atmosphere of sauna, favoring the appearance of a lush vegetation. Plants reach unnatural dimensions, surrounded by dripping water and the eternal smell of wet moss and mushrooms.
All plants from here overcome the crowns of trees size, in fact the lack of competition from some trees allowed them to reach such dimensions. Another factor is the acid soil rich in humus, in which live long earthworms as a human arm. With such bizarre it’s no wonder that this land has given birth to a large number of superstitions.

The locals refuse to touch chameleons, some of the oldest inhabitants of the forest in the region. With three horns on them, the reptile is being considered an evil, ominous.
In the area there are other representatives of the animal kingdom, such as bird-sun, Colobus monkey with black and white fur, leopard, the hyrax that looks like a rabbit and herds of elephants that worthy patrol through reeds and papyrus groves.

Old granite peaks of the Shrew mountains in the Transvaal region of South Africa rise like giants above the winding valley of the Blyde River Canyon, peaks being split by ravines giddy.

Down, silver rivers and streams cross a quiet landscape, along with abandoned mine, prospecting districts that have been forgotten by time and vertical waterfalls of stone covered with lichens. The tumultuous water gurgling is mixed with rare birds screams and barks of baboons that evoke tinted rocks echoes of minerals in red, yellow and orange.

This spectacular canyon, which marks the border between southern African plateau and the eastern Lowveld, is one of the most beautiful landscapes on the African continent. From a height of about 1000 m, the rock wall stretches stunning to the Blyde River bed.

Shrew Mountains offer splendid views to the Lowveld and to one of the most popular nature reserves of Africa: Kruger National Park.
Slopes and sloping valleys host a wide variety of wild animals. Monkeys are sheltered by forests, while kudu antelopes and klipspringer prefer heights. Predators such as leopards, hippos and otters live in the waters of lakes and rivers.

Blyde River springs on one of the slopes near the village of Pilgrim’s Rest, where a century ago seekers were digging for gold. Today, they disappeared, and the river water boils down, thundering at the bottom of the canyon in a series of streams and waterfalls. In time, the river has brought with it tons of particles carried by water, who dug the spectacular 24 km long route through the canyon.

Renowned worldwide due to the struggle for survival from Kruger (Battle at Kruger), Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that rivals the best in Africa. Founded in 1898 in order to protect the South African fauna and flora, the park covers no more than 2 million acres and houses a huge diversity of wildlife.

Remnants of early hominids can be seen here, from the rock paintings and archaeological sites as Masorini Thulamela. These real cultural treasures are preserved, along with flora and fauna using innovative techniques and management policies that have brought international recognition to the park administration.

The area considered a true heaven for thousands of years for South African hunters and gatherers, the Kruger National Park has become today one of the largest and most famous nature reserves in the world. The park has a length of 360 kilometers from north to south and 64 kilometers from east to west. A huge and exciting stretch where visitors can witness the full spectacle of wildlife.

In fact, one of the most popular videos that have ever been posted on You Tube, Battle at Kruger, was recorded in this park. No less than 6 national ecosystems are found throughout the reserve, where can be found 1982 species of plants, 517 species of birds, 147 species of mammals (including the 5 Giant of Africa: lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and African buffalo) and 114 species of reptiles, including crocodiles 3000. The true emblem of the South African Reserve also can boast other impressive numbers: 336 species of trees, 49 species of fish.

At the Kruger there can be found 350 African wild dogs as well, a specie of which exists within South Africa territory less than 400 copies. The park owns a huge “family” of elephants, about 12,000 copies, and this despite the fact that the reserve can not sustain more than 8000 such mammals .The Kruger National Park is also one of the most popular tourist destinations of South Africa which comes with 21 camps and 15 lodges for safari enthusiasts.

Beyond the gray plains of pebble, in northwestern South Africa, land is slightly inclined to lay open one of the timeless masterpieces of nature: a large  old sand appearing as a baked apricot, which stretches like forever. This is the Kalahari, a vast territory on the African plateau. Surreal beautiful in its immensity, prehistoric culture and structure, the Kalahari Desert covers almost the whole Bostwana, continuing to the west in Namibia and north in Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe. People who live here call it Kgalagadi, meaning “wilderness” – a region so vast, so impenetrable, as it hides secrets of ancient civilizations that disappeared a long time ago. Its sands are home and hunting territory of the oldest populations in the world, the tribes of Bushmen or San, who live today as they did 25,000 years ago. Their amazing adaptations in scorching heat, to the lack of the water and insufficient food, allowed people to survive where others would surely not. Although there is currently no longer than a few thousand bushmen in the Kalahari , their ancestors have left behind them numerous paintings in caves and on rocks in the region. For example in caves and on cliffs of the Tsodilo Hills, in the north-western desert, there are no fewer than 2750 pictures in 200 sites. These subjects vary from simple geometric designs to various groups of people and animals.
Even today, large groups can be seen as marching along the dried  rivers of Auob and Nossob, throwing gold dust in the air. Here, lions are often hidden under the foliage of trees, waiting for night to start hunting.

Innumerable tributaries feed the Congo river along the arc of a circle which is being crossed from its sources, to the border between Zambia and Democratic Republic of the Congo, until flowing into the Atlantic. On the road or 4700 km, the river winds through dense jungle and mangrove forests accumulating so much power that flows into the sea 41,700 tons of water per second, its  debit being exceeded only by the Amazon’s one.
When the river estuary was discovered, in 1482, by the portuguese explorer Diogo Cao, he could not cross the cataracts upstream of the river mouth, today named Livingstone Falls, so the river has remained unexplored for nearly 400 years. For Europeans of the nineteenth century, this area was known as the “darkest Africa”.
The upper Congo River is partially navigable. Initially, it flows to the north through a narrow, steep and rocky gorge, then winds through swamps covered by reeds and flowing into Lake Kisa, a paradise of egrets and seagulls, but the fishermen in the area. Further, navigable portions alternates with thresholds before Nyangwe, where the river enters into the dark jungle which frightened Livingstone in 1871, preventing him from going forward to the north. The river crosses 7 waterfalls along the 90 km, with the largest flow of water in the world, approximately 166,850 tonnes per second.
