The futuristic African nation, which is the setting for Marvel’s latest superhero outing, does not actually exist – but it seems not everyone is aware of that. According to Kiwi.com, a flight booking website, hundreds of people have been searching for trips to Wakanda since Black Panther’s release. Of course if the country did exist, you probably wouldn’t be able to book a flight there since it’s supposed to be a secretive nation, hidden away in East Africa. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a map of Wakanda is shown in background of a scene in Iron Man 2.

So if it were real, Wakanda would be located in north-western Kenya, bordering Lake Turkana, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Uganda. However, technically the area – which includes the Illemi Triangle – isn’t recognised as part of Kenya by everyone, with South Sudan also claiming it. Nevertheless Kenya has current control. Also that land is mainly desert in real life, while Wakanda is portrayed as having lush vegetation, more akin to a Central Africa country like Democratic Republic of the Congo. Black Panther’s Wakanda was shot in other areas of Africa though, including Uganda, Zambia and South Africa.
