Africa in SL

Africa in SL is 65440 square meters of open skies and open land for horse riding, dancing under a tent, enjoying a magical adventure of the mind while you and your sweetheart take a romantic hot air balloon tour, or go out on the lake for an innertube ride. You can have fun dancing in the warmth of a campfire on the beach, or dive into the waterfalls. Relax while enjoying the natural landscape inhabited by wildlife. The sim is a showcase for Dreaming African/Flora Prims, a collection of African plants by Vlad Bjornson, the principle artist and landscaper responsible for creating the Africa sim, which features some examples of native flora. Vlad initially created many custom flowers, plants and trees that cannot be purchased or seen anywhere but in the Africa sim, and according to the owner/manager Rain Husar, now he is growing a new group of plants that you can buy and use to decorate your own builds. These exotic flowers, bizarre succulents, and other African beauties are all based upon their RL counterparts. Mother Nature has a wild imagination, and she has provided an amazing variety of life in Africa from which Vlad draws his inspiration. 40% of all sales of these plants will go towards maintaining the African sim and donations for charities such as One.org.
