Map of Africa: all countries in Africa

Africa stretches from the Mediterranean in the north to the Cape of Good Hope in the south, encompassing the Sahara and Sahel, tropical rainforests, high plateaux and long coastlines facing the Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Both large landlocked states and island nations appear on the map, and the differences between North, West, Central, East and Southern Africa are visible in climate, language and trade patterns.

Many people search for African countries to compare capitals, understand where different regions are or quickly find neighbouring countries for study, news or travel. This page gathers an overview map of Africa alongside a country list sorted by population, making it easy to navigate from the continent level to individual country pages for Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa or Kenya.

The page serves as a hub for anyone wanting a quick overview of all of Africa without jumping between menus. You can see which countries are in the database, which capitals belong to each country and click through to in-depth country pages with map, currency, language and geographic background.
