The Republic of Rwanda is located in the central region of Africa, where we can notice the African Great Lakes. It is one of the smallest nations in mainland Africa with such border partners as Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The nation is also known as the "land of thousand hills" because of its above average elevation. More about Rwanda The Republic of South Africa, also known as RSA, is the southernmost country in the continent. It is one of the most important nations in Africa and in the entire world, being the 24th-most populous nation. Due to its large size, it does not have high density numbers. Interestingly, RSA has three different capital cities. The executive one is Pretoria, the judicial is Bloemfontein, and the legislative is Cape Town. Interestingly, these are not the largest - Johannesburg is the one with the largest population. More about South Africa
