Description: Africa is not the Dark Continent as so often described by writers from the gloomy northern skies of Europe. Not the Dark Continent at all. It is the Luminous Continent. Drenched in sun, pounded by heat and shimmering in its blinding glare. And within this immense continent, deserts with their seas of sand, tropics with their jungles, equators with their rain forest and coasts with more animals and fish than are imaginable. There are more people, languages and cultures here than anywhere else on our planet. Africa is quite simply the most extraordinary beautiful and luminous place on earth. Celebrating the glories of Africa and its diverse peoples, Bob Geldof journeys across the continent in order to explore the colours and contradictions that define Africa.
