What do we know of precolonial African philosophy?

What were the major civilizations and centers for philosophy in Africa, who were the major philosophers of the African tradition?

Should African philosophy be thought of as regional such as western philosophy/eastern philosophy? was there as much disagreement about philosophical issues as we can find in the east and west? Do Africans have a philosopher on par with Confucius, or Aristotle, in terms of shaping the culture of the entire region? Etc.

Are you specifically interested in sub-Saharan Africa, perhaps?  North Africa, especially Egypt, has an important place in the Western philosophical tradition, in spite of the stereotype that "Western" maps onto "European." St. Augustine, perhaps the single most important Christian philosopher pre-Aquinas, was from a city in what is today the country of Algeria.
