Learning African geography

Africa_map Whenever I play the highly addictive Traveler IQ Challenge on Facebook or try naming as many countries as I can in five minutes or even just play with the globe with my daughter, I'm usually thwarted by my lack of African geography knowledge.

Well, I finally have found some help. The Lonely Planet Travel Blog pointed us toward an online quiz to test (and teach) African geography.

I'm getting better at deciphering between Niger and Nigeria, for instance, but I still need to work on remembering Guinea, Guinea Bissau and Equatorial Guinea.
