Since there are literally thousands of ethnic groups in Africa it would be impossible to list them all as well as their rivalries.
However, a few well know examples would be:
Zulu and Xhosa clans in South Africa (during the early 1800's), or the Hutu and Tutsi tribes in Rwanda (Rwandan genocide of the mid 1990's).
It should be noted that "tribal conflicts" don't always follow political parties or patterns, there are, however examples where large tribal groups back opposing parties which then escalates the tribal conflict to a political level as well. An example of this is the Shona/ Ndebele tribal/ political conflict in Zimbabwe (formally Rhodesia).
