You may use any outline of Africa.
One useful outline is available at the National Geographic website. The site offers many permutations (country borders on and off, for example); experiment with what’s available both here and at other websites.
However, it is NOT acceptable to submit a map with pre-printed labels for geographical features!
On a map of Africa , please locate the following:
