I'm surprised how much brighter tanzinia area is than south Africa
That's Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Burundi all together, draped around lake Victoria. It's quite densely populated there.
Rwanda and Burundi are each among the top 20 most densely populated countries. Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, not so much, to my surprise. I thought Malawi might be too but nope.
Unfortunately these lakes (Victoria, Tanganyka and Malawi) water levels have become very volatile due to climate change and will increase to do so. There is an acute risk of a lot of climate refugees coming from these bright yellow areas within the next century.
