Aloha,
Spaceshots Inc. has a satellite poster of Africa (26"x38") in "natural
color".  Online catalog at: www.spaceshots.com
 
According to their "faq's" page, they also do custom work for larger
size prints.  I have no personal experience in ordering enlargements
from them.
 
As a side note, I wonder if that famous Apollo shot of the earth might
also be available wall-size thru other sources (NASA? perhaps avoiding
any copyright/reproduction concerns).  I believe the African continent
was shown on it.
 
Happy New Year!
