About the capitals of Southern Africa
Southern Africa has 5 capital cities to learn. Some are the country's obvious largest city, and a good number are deliberately not — which is where a capitals quiz earns its keep.
The spread is wide: South Africa holds 64.7 million people while Eswatini has 1.3 million. By land area South Africa covers 1,221,037 km² against 17,364 km² for Eswatini.
The largest country by population in Southern Africa is South Africa, whose capital is Pretoria. Purpose-built and relocated capitals are common enough here that the largest city is often the wrong answer.

Frequently asked questions
How many countries are in this quiz?
This quiz covers all 5 entries in Southern Africa. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.
How are the wrong answers chosen?
Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
