The continent of Africa is one full of contrasts and problems. Politically, Africa is one of the most unstable continents. The disappearance of colonies has led to a difficult process in many countries to achieve a stable democracy. This process is still ongoing in a number of countries. An example of this is the Arab Spring, which in 2011 revolutionized a number of North African countries. Whoever visits Africa will do so mainly for nature and culture. The countries in the south and east of Africa in particular attract millions of tourists every year. The vast majority of these come to Africa to go on safari. Popular safari destinations include Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia and South Africa. Anyone who visits Africa will have to deal with the poverty that prevails in many countries. Although some of the countries are amply supplied with precious products such as oil, gold and diamonds, wealth has been unfairly distributed for centuries. Most countries have a select group of wealthy people and a very large bottom layer of the population who live well below the subsistence level.
