One of the prominent African trading empires was the Mali Empire, which flourished from the 13th to the 16th centuries. It was known for its wealth, particularly in gold, and its significant trade routes that connected West Africa to the Mediterranean and the Middle East. The empire's most famous ruler, Mansa Musa, is often celebrated for his pilgrimage to Mecca and the immense riches he displayed during his journey.

Which countries became a major trading partner with west African empires in the late 1400s?

Only one country (namely Portugal) had any dealings with West African coast countries at the time. Portugal hoped to find gold there, and wanted to find the mystical Kingdom of Priest John, which turned out not to exist. Calling Portugal a "major trading partner of West African empires" would be a vast overstatement. They got out some gold in exchange for iron tools, cloth etcetra but that was about it. Further travels along the West African coast by the Portuguese all had the purpose of finding a route to Asia.
