Same for me, but this time I guessed right.

But between Abuja and Abidjan I got it the wrong way around :(

Another pair I often get wrong: Mombasa and Mogadishu.

I thought Timbuktu was called Ouagadougou these days, or is it just the capital changed?

No, Ouagadougou is in Burkina Faso, the smaller landlocked country to the south. You may be confusing it with the French spelling of Tombouctou.

100% I thought I knew absolutely nothing about Africa.

100%, got by knowing the countries and capitals (entirely due to Jetpunk) and "inspired" guessing for all the others and leaving Timbuktu until last, having briefly known but forgotten that it is in Mali. Knowing that Lagos used to be the capital led me to pick that as the coastal city, and the new capital as the one inland. And I knew Mombasa was associated with the safari countries of East Africa, so after Dar Es Salaam and Nairobi were filled in I knew what would be left.

I was doing ok until I forgot where Sudan was and incorrectly guessed Khartoum three times in a row. Also most of those west African cities were pretty tough. I know for the most part what country each city is in, but I'm really not that good at pointing things out on a map.

Why Timbuktu and not Bamako, the capital city of Mali?

Timbuktu only have 59.000 inhabitants, while Bamako has 2.71 million.

Timbuktu is a well-known place, I suspect that's why.

I had no idea what 3 of them were as I am a capital guy myself, and ended up getting Dar Es Salaam and Abidjan mixed up, but those were the only 2 I missed out, so I’m proud of myself.
