African Countries

Sign in to track mastery across all 7 modes.

Africa is home to 54 sovereign nations spanning five major regions — North, West, Central, East, and Southern — and ranges from Mediterranean coastlines and Saharan dunes to equatorial rainforests, the Great Rift Valley, and the temperate Cape. The continent contains the world's longest river (the Nile), its largest desert (the Sahara), and some of its most diverse cultural and linguistic landscapes, with more than 2,000 languages spoken across borders that were largely drawn by colonial powers in the 19th and 20th centuries. This topic covers all 54 UN-member states. Practice the names by typing each one against a live Africa map, click each country on the map under the clock, drill the flag-to-name pairing one banner at a time, sort African countries from non-African in the tile-select rounds, match each capital to its country, or assemble the continent like a jigsaw in the puzzle mode. Every mode counts toward your topic mastery. Once you can name all 54, the regional breakdowns — West African nations, the Maghreb, the Horn, Southern Africa — open up as sub-topics. New here: try the Type-in mode first to see where the gaps are, then revisit the click and flags modes to lock in the visuals.
