About the flags of Southern Africa
Southern Africa has 5 flags to learn, 5 of them belonging to UN member states. This quiz draws its questions from all of them, and the complete list with names and capitals sits directly below the game.
The countries behind those flags differ enormously in scale. South Africa covers 1,221,037 km² while Eswatini fits into 17,364 km². South Africa is home to 64.7 million people; Eswatini has 1.3 million.
Across Southern Africa the recurring colours are blue, white and black. Of the 5 flags here, 5 carry blue — which is exactly why colour on its own is a weak way to tell them apart.
The oldest design in this set is Botswana, in continuous use since 1966; the most recent is Lesotho, adopted in 2006.

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.
