It depends on how you count them.

Of the European colonizers, you have a total of 7, which are composed of UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, and Belgium.

Of the secondary possible colonizers there are 3, which are composed of Oman/Zanzibar, South Africa, and the United States, which operated de facto colonies in Zanzibar, Nambia, and Liberia respectively.
