(quote) “The main section of the valley in Africa continues from the Red Sea SW across Ethiopia and south across Kenya, Tanzania, and Malawi to the lower Zambezi River valley in Mozambique. Many small lakes in Ethiopia and several long narrow lakes, notably lakes Turkana and Nyasa, lie on its course. Just north of Lake Nyasa there is a western branch, which runs north, chiefly along the eastern border of Congo (Kinshasa); this branch is marked by a chain of lakes, including lakes Tanganyika, Kivu, Edward, and Albert (Mobutu). Lake Victoria does not lie in the Great Rift Valley but between its main and western branches. The Great Rift Valley ranges in elevation from c.1,300 ft (395 m) below sea level (the Dead Sea) to c.6,000 ft (1,830 m) above sea level in S Kenya. Erosion has concealed some sections, but in places, notably in Kenya, there are sheer cliffs several thousand feet high.” http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/world/A0821681.html
 * Great Rift Valley:** a geologic fault—or split in the earth's crust that shifts up and down—running from Central Asia down through Africa from north to south. In Asia, countries containing the Great Rift Valley are Lebanon, Syria, and then the rift runs down through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.


 * Sahara** **Desert:** this desert occupies most of the inland land mass of North Africa; (“sub-Saharan Africa” refers to roughly the Southern two-thirds of the continent). Countries that are wholly or partly in the Saharan Desert are: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, and Sudan


 * Nile** **River:** starts in Egypt as the Nile, runs down into Sudan and Uganda as the White Nile, and across into Ethiopia as the Blue Nile. One of the birthplaces of human civilization with the Pharos and the Nubians thriving in this valley, the Nile River basin is one of the most geo-historically important places on Earth.


 * Lake Victoria:** the end of the Nile, bordered by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania


 * Mount Kilimanjaro:** the highest peak in Africa at 5895 feet high; on the border of Kenya and Tanzania


 * Cape of Good Hope:** the southern tip of Africa, on the coast of South Africa
