100 Longest Rivers in Africa - with a Map
With the help of the map, name the 100 longest rivers and river systems on the African continent!
Main source: river-specific sites of Wikipedia (any language).
As languages sometimes list different lengths, one option had to be selected.
When in severe doubt, the length has been *broadly* remeasured using Google Maps.
As data from Africa isn't exactly the best, some rivers had to be broadly measured using Google Maps as no Wikipedia article listed a length.

River: A body of water bearing the same name for its course
River system: A system which consists of at least two rivers. There are, however, requirements for this:
A river system has been assumed if it has
1. its source in a lake which is fed by a river of another name (e.g. Shire -> Lake Malawi -> Ruhuhu)
2. its source at the confluence of two rivers, then following the longer stem (e.g. Nile, then following the White Nile stem)
This in return means, that a longer tributary joining the main river later somewhere along its way is NOT considered a river system (e.g. Luvua stem - Congo)
(1/2)
N.B. A lot of this data might be flawed. Most lengths seem quite rounded and it’s highly possible they don’t depict the true length. In case of severe differences, the length has been broadly remeasured using Google Maps, and the more credible length has been taken. In some cases, the entire length had to be measured using Google Maps.
For the purposes of this quiz series, we consider dry or half-dry rivers equal to perennial rivers, and their length shows length during flood times. The quiz is not including eternally dry rivers like the Yellow Nile.
All headwaters included can be found in quiz stats.
