* ChekhovsGunman: Sabra the serval, who Africa attacks while she's pregnant early in the story, comes back several chapters later having fallen in with Faida's clan.

* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler:Binti, due to a lion attack.]]
* DoubleMeaningTitle: Africa, the protagonist, and Africa, the location the comic takes place in.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Or something like it to the animals of the caldera. Faida's seen it coming, and though we have no clue of what it is, birds are already fleeing from it.
* FantasticRacism: Various bits of predator and prey racism are shown among the various groups of animals; a lion pride even attacks Africa on sight because they mistake her for Chui, and continue to have it out for her despite Africa being female, with two cubs.
* GreyAndGreyMorality: The wilds of Africa are merciless, and there is no "good" or "bad", just animals trying to survive. The only animal in the cast who is outright evil is Chui.
* HumansAreCthulhu: As they often are. Chui is very much ostracized by the other animals of the caldera because he was captured by humans when he was young and has a tracking collar on him.

* InterspeciesAdoption: After [[spoiler:Binti dies and she is unable to find Mosi, Africa adopts Sabra's cub Mondo to try and have some form of repentance for how she was responsible for the stillbirth of all of Sabra's other cubs.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Chui, who is very good at persuading animals to do what he wants by playing on situations or their pride, such as manipulating a zebra into getting his herd leader killed, forcing Africa into a challenge to keep him from killing Mosi, and persuading a pride of lions to attack Faiba's hyena clan.
* ShownTheirWork: The various animals depicted in the comic behave realistically, ranging from how antelope take shelter among a herd of zebra for protection from Africa, and how African Wild Dogs are some of the continent's best predators, with an 80% kill rate and high levels of communication during hunts. The caldera itself is also a real place in Tanzania, as are the various locations inside it.
* ThemeNaming: Except for Chui, nearly all of the leopards in the comic (mainly Africa and her family) are named after various locations, such as her mother, Giza.
