What this Africa quiz covers
Africa contains more than fifty answers in this group, including North Africa, West Africa, the Horn, central Africa, southern Africa, and nearby island countries. It is one of the site's most detailed continent quizzes.
How the no-borders map quiz works
The quiz names a country, but the usual political borders are removed. Click where you think it belongs by using coastlines, neighboring landforms, distance, and your memory of the regional layout. This set covers all 56 countries.
Gameplay tip: Use coastlines and the positions of nearby large countries as anchors before judging smaller inland areas.
What makes this group challenging
West Africa contains many smaller countries with short coastlines, while central and eastern Africa have several large inland neighbors that can blend together at first.
Study tip
Learn the coastline first, then use those coastal countries to place the landlocked countries behind them.
