Central and Southern Africa No-Borders Map Quiz – Find the Countries | Smurdy
Test your knowledge of Central and Southern Africa by finding each country on a map with borders hidden.
What this Central and Southern Africa quiz covers
Central and Southern Africa covers the Congo Basin and the countries toward the continent's southern end. The region includes large inland states, two ocean coastlines, and several smaller landlocked countries.
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 18 countries.
Gameplay tip: Use coastlines and the positions of nearby large countries as anchors before judging smaller inland areas.
What makes this group challenging
The two Congos are easy to confuse, and the compact countries around South Africa require closer attention than the larger states to the north.
Study tip
Learn the Congo Basin first, then move south through Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and the countries around South Africa.
