Map of Africa

Ten countries of Africa. Tap each on the map; a miss shows where it really is.

Rules of Find the Country

Fifty-four countries, from the shores of the Mediterranean down to the continent's southern tip and out to Madagascar, Mauritius and the Seychelles. Plenty of flags here share red, yellow and green, so the hard level is a real test.

54 countries make up this region. Start from the big ones: Algeria is the largest by area and a good anchor for the rest. The smallest, Seychelles, may need a zoom and a tap on its dot.

Nigeria has the largest population here and Seychelles the smallest, a reminder that size on the map and size in people are two different things.
