Learn the capital cities of Africa
This is the Africa level of Capital Quest, Ganzaa's free capital cities quiz. Each round asks about 12 African countries, from Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in the east to Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal in the west and Egypt and Morocco in the north. The full list of countries and capitals is on this page.
Most questions name a country and ask for its capital. Every third question turns it around: you are given the capital and pick the country. After each answer you get a short fact about the city, such as Nairobi being the only capital with a national park inside the city.
A round lasts 75 seconds, and your best score goes on the Africa leaderboard. When you know Africa, the World and Expert levels add the capitals of Europe, Asia and the Americas, including the tricky ones like Canberra and Ottawa.
