Mostly the British and the French colonized Africa. The French were located mostly in the North and West mainly the so-called Gold Coast countries, whereas the English colonized mostly East Africa, from Egypt to South Africa.
Other colonizing countries were Belgium, which ended up 'owning' the Congo after their king - who had colonized it as a private undertaking - left it to the State on his death. Germany also held a few colonies - Somalia among them - mostly for reasons of status.
It turned out to be a costly undertaking. Contrary to popular belief, many colonies were reluctantly created, often for strategic reasons (the British wanting control of the sea route to India) or purely for "La gloire" as in the case of France. Both countries on balance had to spend more money on developing and administrating their colonies than they got out in produce, and after the in total 70 years of colonization, they and other Western countries spent about 3 trillion dollars on Africa in development aid.
