Click the Countries: Africa Map Quiz

The Africa set

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.

Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Africa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are good large reference points for filling in the harder neighbors.

How the click map quiz works

A country name appears above the map. Click it and keep going until the set is finished. The borders stay on the map, which makes this the easiest map mode to learn from.

For a map you barely know, this is usually the easiest place to start. It also works well as a refresher after leaving a region alone for a while.

Tip: If one answer keeps getting you, remember one neighbor or coastline beside it. That is usually enough to find it next time.

The middle is harder than the outline

West Africa gets crowded along the coast. Central and eastern Africa can be tough for the opposite reason: several large inland countries sit next to each other.

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.
