Our aerial exploration of the continent begins in Skikda, Algeria
a costal town along the Mediterranean Sea with
a history dating back to Phoenician times.
It’s one of three towns in Algeria will see from the sky.
Illuminated by the soft glow of city lights, Skikda's coastal night charm unfolds.
Moving inland, we arrive at Oum El Bouaghi
An Algerian city with a population of approximately 100,000 people.
Located 170 kilometers from the coast and surrounded by the Algerian landscape, it
presents a unique blend of urban vitality and natural beauty during daily light.
Located in the Aures Mountains, 1200 meters above
sea level is the Algerian town of Khenchela.
Well-known for its chilly climate in a warm-summer Mediterranean ambiance,
Khenchela is one of coldest cities in Algeria and mainly populated by Berber Chaouis.
As we say goodbye to Khenchela, the tapestry of city lights dwindles.
It’s the last Algerian city we see from above as the
vastness night of the Sahara Desert unfolds beneath.
In the deep darkness of the night cloaks Niger’s landscape in obscurity.
The absence of city lights leaves the terrain shrouded in mystery,
allowing us to appreciate the tranquil beauty of the African night sky.
The play of colors of the African sunrise begins
as we fly over the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Here Africa’s magical sunrise begins.
The sky gradually transforms, unveiling hues of orange and gold.
The horizon ignites and the first rays of
sunlight paint the African landscape of the DRC.
This magical spectacle is a testament to the
unparalleled beauty of an African sunrise.
Sit back and enjoy the magical glow of the sun over the next few minutes.
With the night left behind, the sun has slowly
risen above the horizon as we are now above Zambia.
The sun and the clouds show their magical interplay.
A symphony of colors unfolds as sunlight dances with the
clouds, revealing the picturesque terrain of Zambia below.
Our flight path takes us over Angola, where the
heavens present breathtaking cloud formations.
The interplay of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing
welcome to the beauty that Angola's skies have to offer.
After the farewell to the North African night sky,
a breathtaking sunrise over the DRC, the symphony of
colors above the Zambezian landscape and the cloud
constructions over Angola, we are arriving in South Africa.
Once again, a stunning view of the South African
landscape awaits us before landing in Johannesburg.
Enjoy these concluding moments of the episode, savoring the beauty
that each African location on our journey has graciously unveiled.
