    From sparkling coastlines to epic wildlife, stunning landscapes to impressive natural attractions, the African continent is a treasure trove just waiting to be discovered. These are the ten most beautiful African countries.

    Africa is a continent rich in culture and heritage. Often people umbrella term ‘Africa’ as if it were one entity, although the continent consists of fifty-four countries, all of which have their own unique style and substance.

    For those keen to discover Africa, you’ve come to the right place. It was tough to whittle it down to just ten, but these we believe are the most beautiful African countries to explore.

    10. Tanzania – for Africa’s highest mountain

    The United Republic of Tanzania is a country in East Africa. It is home to Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro.

    With dramatic scenery of mountain, forest, and desert, and a dynamic wildlife population consisting of lions, zebras, monkeys, and elephants, it comes as no surprise that Tanzania finds itself on our list of the most beautiful African countries.

    9. South Africa – the one with three cities

    South Africa is a large country in Southwest Africa. Home to some 59 million people, it is one of the world’s most populous countries.

    With three capital cities, South Africa offers visitors various atmospheres and ambiences, depending on where you are and what your style is. Whether you’re after a cool, cosmopolitan city like Johannesburg or want to go on safari, you’ll find it all here.

    8. The Gambia – a lesser-known gem

    The Gambia is perhaps one of the most beautiful African countries but also a lesser-known gem. The country is small in size and slim, with a narrow coastline that trails along the Atlantic.

    If you’re looking for a slice of unspoilt paradise in an off the beaten track part of the world, look here.

    7. Egypt – for the pyramids

    The Great Pyramids of Giza in Cairo are a mighty sight to behold, but Egypt’s beauty does not stop there. This historical country is quite literally a treasure trove of amazing experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

    From its ancient culture to desert experiences, there are many reasons why Egypt is one of the most beautiful African countries in our books.

    6. Madagascar – the world’s second-largest island country

    After Indonesia, Madagascar is the world’s second-largest island country. Iconised by the 2005 animation Madagascar, this island paradise is ripe with beauty by the bucketload.

    Think of pristine beaches and sparkling seas, swaying palm trees and exotic wildlife, local cuisine and vibrant culture. Indeed, there’s much to make Madagascar a bucket list destination, no doubt.

    5. Rwanda – for the Volcano National Park

    Rwanda is a stunning African country that boasts a dynamic culture with stunning natural surroundings.

    Perhaps one of Rwanda’s most coveted destinations is the Volcano National Park. As the name implies, this park is home to several dormant volcanoes and troops of wild gorillas who roam the forest at ease.

    4. Morocco – a North African gem

    Located in North Africa is Morocco, a country of great beauty and adventure. Whether you enjoy street food or prefer to enjoy adventure activities, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do in Morocco.

    We suggest you spend a couple of nights in Marrakesh before exploring beyond the city and enjoying all this great country has to offer.

    3. Namibia – for striking desert landscapes

    If you’re seeking awe-inspiring landscapes unlike any other, head to Namibia.

    This is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful African countries with its vast ocean-hugging coastline, safari wilderness tours, stargazing opportunities, and outdoor pursuits.

    2. Botswana – a landlocked African country

    This landlocked country in Africa is neighbour to Namibia, as mentioned above. It’s perhaps one of the most well-known for safari excursions, and with that, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa.

    Here, visitors can experience first-hand the vast beauty and electric atmosphere of the Kalahari Desert, which covers about 80% of the country.

    1. Seychelles – for absolute paradise

    Seychelles lies off the coast of mainland Africa and consists of about 115 islands. Home to a wealth of unique wildlife, stunning beaches, and remote locations most of us have only ever dreamed about, a visit here is bucket list-worthy without a doubt.

    Just imagine utter paradise: towering palm trees, crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, blue skies. That is Seychelles – one of the most beautiful African countries.
