The geography of "The Dark Continent" is as varied as the people who inhabit it.
The area closest to Europe and bordering the Mediterranean Sea is known as North Africa. The Islamic nations include Algeria, Libya, and Egypt. It is hot and dry and peopled with relatively light-skinned people. The area along the Red Sea, closest to the Arab countries, includes Sudan, Somalia, and Ethiopia. It, too, has mostly lighter-skinned people who are Molems. Ethiopia and Somalia constitute the Horn of Africa.
The area of Africa most visited by tourists to see wildlife is called East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The terrain varies from rain forest to grasslands to Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, at more than 20,000 feet elevation.Southern Africa includes Mozambique, Angola, and South Africa and its former colonies of Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. The Cape of Good Hope is at the bottom of the continent.
In the southern interior are the mostly rainforest Republic of Congo, Chad, Congo, and the Central African Republic.
The nations of western Africa -- Gabon, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Mali, Senegal -- were the source of most of the slaves for Europe and the Americas. The dark-skinned former slaves now constitute the black population of those areas. The region is known as West Africa.

It's not the "dark" continent. Only a rabid racist would refer to the continent that introduced civilization to the world, as the "dark" continent.
