Yeah, I kinda thought both countries should be accepted given it's clearly the border between them. Though it's not hard if you guess the wrong one to work out where you went wrong.
How did 90% of everyone know that the third picture is specifically Tanzania? I guessed half of sub-Saharan Africa and didn't happen to guess that one. Was everyone else luckier than I was, or is there something in the picture that gives it away?
The Maasai people in the picture live in northern Tanzania and central/southern Kenya. Kenya was also accepted. They picture clearly features the Maasai.
The clothing looked like the Wachati peoples from Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls (I know...I know)...unfortunately, I didn't know what African country that was supposedly set in. I also got it because I guessed the mountain was Kilimanjaro.
The Maasai are a patriarchal, traditional, militaristic, cattle-herding society from Tanzania and Kenya.
When I was in Tanzania, you would occasionally see a teenage boy jumping up and down by the side of the road. They were hoping tourist vans like ours would stop and pay to have their picture taken. You'd also see herdsmen with large groups of very skinny cows.
Why is there a blank map? Pictures of landscapes, people, monuments are what makes this quiz series so great, so that map really feels out of place in here... :S
I was thinking the same thing. It's weird to me that they chose a picture of a map when there's lots of good pictures of Nicaragua's landmarks/scenery/people/etc exist.
I don't think you should accept Kenya. That is what I guessed, but it wasn't the correct answer, and I don't think I earned that point. Kenya and Tanzania are two entirely different countries. It's like accepting Spain for France or Brazil for Bolivia.
I guess that to guess Namibia it is necessary to guess all the countries with deserts and sand dunes in the world. Of course it is more obvious to start with the Sahara and Arabian desert (or maybe even Gobi) before the Kalahari desert.
Yeah I feel like the Namibia one has nothing distinct about the country and unless you knew of that exact picture, it could be anywhere with sand dunes
Israel has a stronger government and higher standard of living than pretty much everything around it in the Middle East, meanwhile Palestine is two dysfunctional governments in a trench coat pretending to be one sovereign country. Don't get me wrong, maybe Palestine will get there one day and we'll be happy to accept that once it is. But until then, Israel is more of a country than Palestine has ever been.

Seemed like the most obvious answer to me.
The dune isn't even a permanent landmark. That thing looks totally different by now.
