How to learn the map of Africa
Work in rows. Across the top: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt. The Sahel row below it: Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan. Then West Africa's coast in order from the west: Senegal (with The Gambia inside it), Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria. Niger is the big landlocked one above Nigeria.
Central Africa has the two Congos: the Republic of the Congo is the small one on the west bank of the river, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the giant. Equatorial Guinea is the small coastal country between Cameroon and Gabon. In the east, the Horn is Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia. Down the east coast: Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique; inland, the lakes cluster of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The south is Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, with Lesotho entirely inside South Africa and Eswatini on its eastern edge.
