Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Morocco, Mauritius, Egypt and Kenya are amongst the top ten list of the best countries in Africa. Africa is a beautiful continent and rich in minerals. The African soil it’s not like any other soil but it’s unique in it’s own way and produces best in the world.

We’ve gathered the top ten popular countries in Africa based on their tourist rating and shockingly so Nigerian is no where to be found. Below are the countries listed in order:

South Africa

Tourism in South Africa account for more than 1.5 million jobs, $30.5 billion in revenue and roughly 16.85 million tourists arriving in South Africa every year.

That should give a sense why South Africa has become the powerhouse of tourism in Africa.

Egypt

Egypt is by far one of the most visited country in Africa—owing to its historical records, background and values which has contributed immensely to the ever-growing tourism sector.

Over 11.34 million tourists spent around 121 nights in 2018, with each tourist spending well over $100 per night.

Majority of tourist arrivals are from Europe, Asia, Arab, Germany and United Kingdom.

Morocco

Without any doubt, Morocco is the third most visited country in Africa—behind their Northern neighbor, Egypt.

The government of Morocco is leaving no stone unturned in the tourist sector—hence, the prioritization of tourism sector is top-notch, as it is seen as a major tool to foster rapid growth and development

Apart from being hugely expensive, it is time consuming as well. Being able fly back-and-forth directly to these two countries will definitely add a massive boost to the growth and development of Morocco’s economy through tourism.

Tanzania

Tanzania’s tourism sector saw a spike in arrivals which rose from 1.33 million in 2017 to 1.49 million in 2018—thanks to increase in international arrivals from Europe, Asia, the Pacific, Americas, Middle East and Africa.

Although visitors hailing from Europe still accounts for the largest arrivals in recent years.

Mauritius

The Mauritians statistics office claimed that tourist arrivals is expected to rise to more than 1,425,000 before the last quarter of 2019.

Kenya

  • India – 6 percent
  • China – 4 percent
  • Germany – 4 percent

Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s tourism growth surpass the global average rate of 3.9 percent and the African average of 5.6 percent.

Nearly 2.2 million jobs can rightly be attributed to the boom in tourism—adding $7.4 billion to the country’s economy.
