Type the Capitals: Africa Quiz
Practice the capitals of Africa while keeping each country tied to its place on the map.
African capitals
Africa has more than fifty answers in this set. The coast gives you a good outline, while the interior has long runs of neighboring countries that are harder to separate.
Nairobi and Addis Ababa are familiar starting points; Brazzaville and Kinshasa are a pair worth learning together.
A few easy swaps
The two Congos are especially easy to reverse, and several countries have capitals that are less famous than another city in the same country.
How the capitals quiz works
A country is highlighted and named. Type its capital. Smurdy marks the capital on the map for a moment before the next question.
Capital mode makes the most sense once the countries or states themselves are familiar.
Tip: Try to get the city from memory before you look for the answer dot.
Common miss
The biggest city is not always the capital. A few countries are especially good at punishing that guess.
Give the interior its own practice
The coast gives the continent a useful skeleton. Once that is familiar, the landlocked countries have somewhere to sit.
