There are several reasons why Africa didn't expand like others did. For one, in spite of the size of that continent, there are very few natural harbours and the few that do exist don't come close to the harbours, for large ships, that other continents are blessed with. Also, much of Africa is situated on large plateaus. This means that the great rivers, unlike other great rivers in the world, are only navigable for a few miles inland. That seriously hampered the ability to set long distance trade routes, essential to economic growth. The Sahara is another major deterrent to establishing major trade routes and sub-Saharan Africa was cut off from the rest of the world for thousands of years. Even when the world started going to them, the navigators wouldn't enter into the country because of the limitations set by unnavigable rivers and the prevalence of diseases, especially malaria. It wasn't until the development of quinine, as an effective treatment for malaria, did European explorers venture inland, and that wasn't until the 1800s. There were some big kingdoms but they just didn't have the natural advantages that countries in Europe, the Middle east, North Africa and the Orient had.
