Best Countries In Africa

The Top Ten
1 Ethiopia Ethiopia, officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a sovereign state located in the Horn of Africa.

Ethiopia is the best country not only in Africa but also in the entire world! It undoubtedly has the most fascinating and wonderful history! It is the first christian country and is also the origin of civilization!

Ethiopia is the best country with the best airlines in africa and has one of the strongest armies in africa. Also there are like five types of animals that are only found in ethiopia and nowhere else in the world. cool ha!

Ethiopia is the only country that fought colonizers and won making the sign for freedom not only in Africa but to all oppressed people around the world because she was never colonized.

MY FRIEND WHICH HIS NAME IS KEVIN WHEN HE GROW UP HE WANT TO LIVE IN ETHIOPIA BECAUSE FOOD ARE HEALTHY AND LOVELY THERE IS MANY GOOD CULTURE WHEN IT WAS THE LAST THIRD TERM HOLIDAY WE WENT TO CAMEROON AND WE TOOK ETHIOPIA AIRWAYS AND WE VISITED ETHIOPIA

2 Morocco Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is the northwesternmost country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and has land borders with Algeria to the east, and the disputed territory of Western Sahara to the south. Morocco also claims the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta, Melilla and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, and several small Spanish-controlled islands off its coast.

Morocco has the greatest culture in Africa, a combination of European and African cultures. They have the highest life expectancy, and one of the highest GDPs in Africa.

Morocco has seen some amazing work in the last decades it is a fast growing economy and the most stable politically in the place. It’s historical,cultural and geographical diversity makes it a unique travel experience.

The best country in africa for me the people of morocco and the culture they have are insane

Morocco is the first country in the whole world She recognized America

3 South Africa South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana ...read more.

South Africa is the richest country of Africa, it's beautiful, the historical background is full of amazing stories, it is a big country with different natural aspects, in Cape Town the weather is like in Europe, the Goateng reminds me of big cities in the US then we have the savana... I lived there for three years and it should be first...

South Africa is the best country in Africa. Or it was, at least, at one time. Unfortunately now there are high tensions, and there is a race war brewing here. The whites are being oppressed and many are fleeing to New Zealand, Australia, Europe, or the United States.

South Africa is one of the most developed countries in Africa, has a very strong economy, and there are actually white people living there.

Coming from a Indian resident and Japanese lover, it's my favorite country of Africa. It's USA of Africa.

4 Ghana Ghana, officially called the Republic of Ghana, is a sovereign unitary presidential constitutional democracy, located along the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean, in the subregion of West Africa.

The Ashanti Empire as well as other Akan kingdoms and some centralized kingdoms in Northern Ghana elected their Kings, Paramount chiefs and people in office through elections which everyone from ministers to the locals participated. The Ewes in Ghana also practiced a Republican government. Inauguration of leaders in pre-modern Ghana before colonialism was so similar to that of modern Ghana. The king appointed officials who were schooled for their duties and could fire them for poor work done. Impeachment of leaders similar to modern Ghana took place especially in the Ashanti Empire. Modern Ghana doesn't just get it's democracy from nowhere.

Even if she is not the best country, she definitely is a very advanced nation. Aggressive tackling of the agricultural sector through the initiative of planting for food and jobs. The country is also gradually endorsing industrialization. Electric cars, military artillery weapons are all produced by the country herself. In the midst of the pandemic, Ghana became the first country in the world to use drones for testing and distribution of PPEs which the UK and US has emulated. Rwanda, Kenya, and some African countries are also notable countries to keep an eye on.

Ghana has the largest Shopping Mall in West Africa. Ghana ranked 1st in Africa and 4th in the world according to the latest Global Retail Development Index. Ghana produces Electric cars. Ghana is ranked the highest mobile broadband penetration in Africa according to an International Telecommunication Union ( ITU) report. Most of its ports and land registrations are paperless and digital. New cities under construction such as Appolonia, Petronia and Accra Marine Drive are going to serve as a hub not just for the Continent but world.

Ghana is the nation with one of the most advanced democracies in the world. Ghana has received some booming economic development in recent years. Ghana has the largest artificial lake in the world. Ghana was the first sub-Saharan African country to launch a cellular network. One of the first to be connected to internet. There is total peace in the country too

5 Botswana Botswana, officially the Republic of Botswana, is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. Botswana is topographically flat, with up to 70 percent of its territory being the Kalahari Desert. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west and north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. It is connected to Zambia across the short Zambezi River border by the Kazungula Bridge.

Only in the 1960s was this country actually underdeveloped. Since then it had rapidly transformed into not only the most developed country in all of mainland Africa, but also more developed than like all but a couple countries in both Americas. And even its crime rate is a lot lower than just about all of its neighbors.

One of the most beautiful countries in Africa and a much better place to go to than some certain European countries such as Belarus, Hungary, and especially untrustworthy Russia.

Highest living standards in all of Africa by far. No sorts of inner conflicts or tribalism.

Most peaceful in the world..no European country comes close..

6 Gabon Gabon, officially the Gabonese Republic, is a sovereign state on the west coast of Central Africa. Located on the equator, Gabon is bordered by Equatorial Guinea to the northwest, Cameroon to the north, the Republic of the Congo on the east and south, and the Gulf of Guinea to the west.

An all around good country safe clean nice cities and wildlife.

Gabon is an example to follow for all African countries.

Really small and really friendly

As of 2020, Kenya is the third-largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa after Nigeria and South Africa. Kenya is bordered by South Sudan ...read more.

Kenya should be at least number 4 if I am being honest. The nature, wildlife, people, and the capital Nairobi are very facinating and unique.

I just came back to Spain from Kenya and Tanzania. Visiting this country was really awesome and has a lot of different cultures. Kenya is certainly a great country to visit because of the wildlife, the Arabian Sea to the east and Mount Kilimanjaro (Even though it’s in Tanzania), is a great visit and a great view of both Kenya and Tanzania.

I have a friend who lived there. It's a very religious and nice country. The only thing wrong is that it's right next to Somalia, so terrorists could sneak in.

Kenya is one of the fast developing countries in Africa, has a very strong economy, amazing animals and wildlife, and beautiful cities like its capital.

8 Egypt Egypt, officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia via a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip (Palestine) and Israel to the northeast, ...read more.

Without Egypt morocco ethiopia and north sudan Afrika would have no historical pride to show!
You can see how much Greece italy persia arabia russia china turkey india thailand malaysia mean for Eurasia most relevant place on earth!

Egypt is a really good country, historically, geographically and based upon strength! I suggest visiting Egypt, it's a great place.

The strongest country in africa and middle east right now

Best country in world only country to feel safe and loved

9 Nigeria Nigeria, an African country on the Gulf of Guinea, has many natural landmarks and wildlife reserves. Protected areas such as Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park have waterfalls, dense rainforest, savanna, and rare primate habitats. One of the most recognizable sites is Zuma Rock, a 725m-tall monolith outside the capital of Abuja that’s pictured on the national currency.

The other major languages are Igbo, Urhobo, Hausa, Yoruba, Ibibio, Fulfulde, Edo, Pidgin English, Ijaw, Kanuri, and Tiv.

Still haven't figured out why Nigeria isn't at number one.?!
they got great personalities and beautiful traditional culture.
I have been there a couple of times before for business transaction involving shipping and managements,really do love their food and beaches cause it looks African to me.though they have some faullz I really do believe every country has one problem to deal with or the other,population too could have been another factor for the above mentioned.well though I haven't been to all the African countries but the few I visited spoke for themselves.

Nigeria is one of the richest African countries, and is developing very fast. Has many major cities and a booming population.

I love Nigeria! It is the best country in the world and do not say otherwise! Best place to visit and has very funny people!

Nigeria is beautiful but we have bad and corrupt leaders who don't care about the greater good of the common people.

10 Namibia Namibia, officially the Republic of Namibia, is a country in southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. Its capital city is Windhoek. It shares borders with Angola to the north, South Africa to the south and Botswana to the east.

Best country to travel in Africa, safe, comfortable, beautiful, and culturally diverse, not the most affordable, but almost all African nations are like this, I love Africa! Not African by the way

What is Namibia doing so low on the list? This is quite a country where cold sea and hot arid desert meet... well balanced culturally/racially, a small but comfortable/wealthy population.

Namibia is a good place to live in and it is the most country to have Cheetas
It’s calm and peaceful I have no other words to say for this country but the only thing that I will say is:BEST COUNTRY IN AFRICA

Germans in Africa

The Contenders
11 Tanzania Tanzania, officially the United Republic of Tanzania or simply U.R.T, is a large country in Eastern Africa within the African Great Lakes region.

Tanzania is one of my personal favorite African Nations. Probably my 3rd or 4th. I'm surprised its not ranked higher on here and that its ranked lower than Namibia and Botswana. Tanzania is home to so much such as Sarengeti National Park and of course Mt Kilimanjaro. Dar Es Saleem is also facinating to check out!

Tanzanian people are amazing, there is not a place better than Tanzania, safe, reliable, and happy. Everything is amazing John Magufuli is crushing corruption, their politics are awesome. Really recommend this country to be the best country in the African Continent.

No place like Tanzania in the world. I keep going back there. I love the people and everything about this country.

Kilimanjaro mountain serengeti park coastal area of Dar es salame peace harmony and cooperation of the people and caring offered to the forenner make the place to be very fantastic!

12 Uganda

Uganda is the best country in Africa. Ot has amazing unique wild not found anywhere else in Africa and did you know it has one of the biggest oil reserves in Africa! Although it is poor no one can die of starvation in Uganda, even a beggar could get a meal from a strangers home. Long live uganda!

Descendant of kings ino that it's the best country in africa

I lived there for 3 years it was amazing

13 Mauritius Mauritius, officially the Republic of Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometres off the southeast coast of the African continent.

Arguably the least racist nation on earth, considering that just about every religion is practiced there almost equally, every race can be found there (on top of having both English and French as official languages), and everyone there seems to get along with one another perfectly with an extremely low crime rate to boot.

A much more ideal place to live in than pretty much all of Eastern Europe, especially nowadays with Vladimir Putin ruining everything over there.

I've been to Mauritius twice, and it's beautiful, the people are really nice and it's probably more developed than some European countries. This should definitely be at the top of the list.

Mauritius has the best economy in Africa, as well as a stable government and good infrastructure. This should very much be number one.

14 Seychelles Seychelles, officially the Republic of Seychelles, is an archipelago and country in the Indian Ocean.

A much safer, wealthier, and more LGBT-friendly Indian Ocean island nation than the overrated homophobic Maldives. And its beachscapes are without contest the most beautiful of any country I've ever seen.

Far more developed than most countries in Latin America and about half the countries of Asia.

Most developed country in Africa.

15 Cape Verde Cabo Verde, officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, is an island country spanning an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean.

Worst country in Africa, my girlfriend was rapped there!

16 Tunisia Tunisia, officially the Tunisian Republic or the Republic of Tunisia is the northernmost country in Africa, covering 165,000 square kilometres.

I love Tunisia as it is one of my all time favourite countries because it's a democratic state, has delicious food, beautiful stunning coastlines, diverse culture, friendly, kind and hospitable people, they also speak Arabic and Star Wars was filmed here too.

The only Arab Muslim country that is a free democracy!


What's not to love about it?

Tunisia is one of the best countries, You can find whatever you want, waterfalls, mountains, modern and old cities. Just the best combination for a traveler

Amazing and beautiful country. The only Arab country where it is legal for a non Muslim woman to marry a non Muslim man. Also, star wars was filmed here.

Oh Tunisia is like Lebanon and Greece Man I never went to it but I feel it's pretty beautiful out there.

17 Algeria Algeria, is a sovereign Arab & Amazigh country located in North Africa.

Also, Algeria has a famous food called couscous, which they eat every Friday because it is one of the symbols of Algeria, The most beautiful sunrise and sunset in the world The way to the summit of Assekrem in Tamanrasset of Algeria.

Algeria is the largest country in Africa by area. It's a very diverse country! Traditional food there is the best in the Mediterranean region. People are very friendly and they offer services for FREE! It's very underrated! Algeria is a hidden paradise that tourists from the entire globe did not discover. In the north, there are plenty of exotic sandy or rocky beaches and in the south there is the Sahara which the largest desert on earth.

How in the hell isn't algeria in the top guys this country haven't been seen since 1962 it's a good country I like it

19 Zambia The Republic of Zambia is a landlocked country in Southern Africa, neighbouring the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west.

A 'feel free' kind of place, landlocked so its surrounded by everything African from wildlife to cultures. Low on population too so it's a relaxed place.

20 Burkina Faso Burkina Faso is a landlocked country located in West Africa, bordered by Mali, Niger, Benin, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire. The capital and largest city is Ouagadougou.
