East Africa No-Borders Map Quiz – Find the Countries | Smurdy
Test your knowledge of East Africa by finding each country on a map with borders hidden.
What this East Africa quiz covers
East Africa in this group includes the Horn, the Great Lakes region, the Indian Ocean coast, and nearby island countries. Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Somalia provide several recognizable anchors.
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 17 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 Horn has distinctive coastlines, but the inland Great Lakes countries are smaller and closely grouped. Regional definitions can also differ near central and southern Africa.
Study tip
Begin with the Horn and Indian Ocean coastline, then work inland around Lake Victoria and the Great Lakes.
