I was reading about African PC in Dragon Magazine # 195 (warriors), #200 (mages), #202 (demihumans), #209 (priests), #122 (monsters), #189 (campaign), #215 (gods).
It could be interesting to place all this stuff in ome Known Sphere world... An African world, with the Dark Continent described in Dragon #189... but I need a planet to put all these on...

It was easy... I found the right world: Takhisis, 3rd moon of Zivilyn, Krinnspace. It is a perfect African world!

Nyambe is interesting, thanks for letting me know about it. Maybe I'll use the human subcultures, but as I use AD&D2ed rules, I think I'll not use demihuman races - I don't like halflings, gnomes, dwarve and elves in an African setting, when I have demihumans such as loa-legba (animal spirit), felaka (cat-people), kraggen (mantis thri-kreen), zebrataur etc. all from Dragon #202!

I think so, although I believe it does have seas (dracons used ocean-type vessels), and the climate is chaotic enough to force constant migrations. The best source for info on the dracons is to find stuff about the k'kree from Traveller, which was the primary inspiration for the dracon race ;)
