Due to its size and its position astride the equator, Africa has a whole range of climates, from deserts and arid savannahs to rainforests and even subarctic mountains. Camels roam the deserts, elephants inhabit the vast plains and gorillas can be found in the deepest parts of the forests. Africa is truly a wonder of biodiversity.
Due to these variations in landscape, the countries of Africa also differ greatly, from the desert lands of the North, such as Libya or Morocco, and the savannahs of Kenya. to the central jungles found in such places as the Congo.
The 52 countries of Africa have many different features in their cultures, their languages and their landscapes, but this quiz is about their different flags.
