This trip through Africa is set at Hard. The 13 questions come in three legs — Flags (4 questions), then Find the country (6 questions), then Bigger or smaller (3 questions) — and visit 16 countries in all.

At the Hard level the obvious countries are left out and the wrong options are close neighbours of the right one, or, for flags, the closest look-alikes.

Capital to capital, in question order, the route covers 51,460 km over 15 hops.
