Sub-Saharan Africa No-Borders Map Quiz – Find the Countries | Smurdy
Test your knowledge of Sub-Saharan Africa by finding each country on a map with borders hidden.
What this Sub-Saharan Africa quiz covers
Sub-Saharan Africa contains the countries south of the Sahara according to Smurdy's stored group list. Removing North Africa still leaves a large map spanning West, Central, East, and Southern Africa.
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 49 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 group is still large and includes many landlocked countries, so memorizing regional clusters is more effective than treating it as one uninterrupted list.
Study tip
Practice West, East, Central, and Southern Africa separately before using this combined quiz.
