Central and Southern Africa Map Quiz – Type the Countries | Smurdy
Practice the names and locations of Central and Southern Africa by typing the highlighted countries.
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 typing map quiz works
One country is highlighted on the map. Type its name to answer, using the map shape and location as your clue. The round continues through all 18 countries, making this useful for spelling practice as well as map recognition.
Gameplay tip: Say each answer in your head before typing it. That small pause helps connect the written name to the map.
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.
