Instagrams of the Week: Astounding Africa

March 6, 2015 Daniel Sendecki

Its name means “sunny place” in the Berber tongue, but “Africa” may as well be a synonym for “vastness.” A truly massive continent comprising over 20% of the planet’s available land, Africa is home to the world’s largest desert, its longest river, its hottest temperatures, and hundreds of dialects and cultures spread among a billion people. But as mind-boggling as it seems at first, you’ll be amazed how intimate it feels once you get to know it.

From Southern Africa’s natural splendour to East Africa’s Serengeti, join us as we share our favourite ‘grams of the week!
