What I like most
What I like the most about North Africa are the physical features. You have the Sahara Desert which takes of 25 percent of Africa. There is the Sahel and the Savanna which is where you could see tons of different animals run around. The Atlas mountains where you can take wonderful pictures of the view. Also the depending where you are, the climate can be great.
