There is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_of_Africa

Which lists some North African ones.

I also thought there was a template for lists of rivers, but the
template at the bottom of that page is generated by a template
parameter from Template:Africa topic
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Africa_topic) so there is no
way to actually link to the template as it displays in the article.
Which is more than a bit annoying.
