Dictionary pivoting in C#

Given a dictionary object as under

 Dictionary<string, List<string>> dictContinents = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
    dictStr.Add("Asia", new List<string>() { "India", "Pakistan", "Bangaladesh", "Singapore" });
    dictStr.Add("Africa", new List<string>() { "Uganda", "Ghana","Ecuador" });
    dictStr.Add("Europe", new List<string>() { "France", "Norway" , "Belgium" ,"Spain" });
	dictStr.Add("South America", new List<string>() { "Argentina", "Bolivia" , "Brazil" ,"Uruguay", "Chile", "Colombia" });

We need to transpose the rows to columns.

Approach 1:

Dictionary<string, List<string>> dictContinents = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
            dictContinents.Add("Asia", new List<string>() { "India", "Pakistan", "Bangaladesh", "Singapore" });
            dictContinents.Add("Africa", new List<string>() { "Uganda", "Ghana", "Ecuador","Somalia" });
            dictContinents.Add("Europe", new List<string>() { "France", "Norway", "Belgium", "Spain" });
            dictContinents.Add("South America", new List<string>() { "Chile", "Bolivia", "Brazil", "Peru" });
           
            Enumerable.Range(0, dictContinents.Values.First().Count)
                .ToList()
                .ForEach(i => Console.WriteLine(string.Join("  ", dictContinents.Values.Select(values => values[i]))));

Approach 2:

Dictionary<string, List<string>> dictContinents = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
            dictContinents.Add("Asia", new List<string>() { "India", "Pakistan", "Bangaladesh", "Singapore" });
            dictContinents.Add("Africa", new List<string>() { "Uganda", "Ghana", "Ecuador","Somalia" });
            dictContinents.Add("Europe", new List<string>() { "France", "Norway", "Belgium", "Spain" });
            dictContinents.Add("South America", new List<string>() { "Chile", "Bolivia", "Brazil", "Peru" });

            int maxLimit = dictContinents.Values.First().Count;
                            //or dictContinents.Values.Select(l => l.Count).Max(); 
                            //or dictContinents.Values.Count

            for (int i = 0; i < maxLimit; i++)
            {
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                string space = string.Empty;
                dictContinents.Keys.ToList().ForEach(k =>
                {
                    sb.AppendFormat("{0}{1}", space, dictContinents[k][i]);
                    space = "  ";
                });

                Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
            }

Output

India            Uganda    France  Chile
Pakistan       Ghana     Norway  Bolivia
Bangaladesh  Ecuador  Belgium  Brazil
Singapore     Somalia    Spain     Peru
