The Dogon of Mali have an oral history that says they came from Egypt and verify this with their insane knowledge of the stars, if you've never read about what these guys said in the early 20th century you should because it's very interesting. Genetically this is proven.
The Fulani are found in many north and west African countries and they say they "originated" in the upper Nile but left due to drought, going west and southward. This is genetically proven just like the Dogon.
The Balanta of Guinea-Bissau's tradition is that they left Egypt and Nubia because of drought and wars. Also genetically proven.
The Hausa of Nigeria say they are the descendants of Nubians and that they also left because of drought and war.
The Yoruba of Nigeria's traditition is that they came from the Nile and have old Egyptian linguistics.
The Wolof people of Senegal also have a linguistic connection to ancient Egypt and similar religious concepts.
The Mende of Sierra Leone also have the history that they came from Nubia.
Egyptian and Chadic share a lot of exclusive cognates, so they probably formed one group at some point. Berber shares a lot of its lexicon with both Semitic and Egyptian but over all share more cognates with Semitic.
Judging by their verbal systems, Egyptian is closer to East Semitic languages vs (West) Semitic, Cushitic and Berber. The Chadic verbal system underwent significant changes so it is unknown if it was akin to Egyptian or to (West) Semitic but judging from their shared lexicons it was most likely close to Egyptian.
