My 2 cents:

1) Berbers: North Africa representative (no other option here)

2) Malians: West Africa representative

3) Ethiopians: East Africa representative

4) Generic Bantu civ: Central/South Africa representative

5) Portuguese: Interacted with all 4 of them (Bantu would stand in for Congolese, Angolans, Zimbabweans and Mozambicans alike), plus the Indians, perfect for playable faction in a historical campaign showcasing the new civs.

Only problem is that the Bantu would have to be yet another cavalry-less civ and the only unique unit I can think of would be a throwing knife or stick unit, yet they seem to be giving that to the Malians. But this map implies those weren't used in Mali:
