10 most beautiful African cities to visit  

Spring and summer are mostly known as vacation seasons. With spring upon us already and summer in just some months, a lot of people are already planning their temporary escape, to experience new places. 

Africa has been a tourist destination for over two decades, with people visiting to embark on a safari or to climb Kilimanjaro, but why stop at just that? 

The continent has grown over the century, with more innovation. Cities are more colour full and vibrant, cultures are even more pronounced, and these are even more reason to visit Africa. 

Before you plan your trip to Kilimanjaro however, here are 10 of the most beautiful places in Africa to include in that planner.

1. Abuja, Nigeria

Built with an aesthetically pleasing, serene, and suburban nature while also offering many activities, Abuja is a sight to behold. Home to neat and wide roads, well-planned lay-outs, effective and exotic private and government buildings as well.

2. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Addis Ababa is regarded as the political capital of the continent due to its many political organizations. It has world-class road networks, buildings, and other social amenities. This makes it an ideal place to visit and live.

3. Windhoek, Namibia

Windhoek is the location of most government institutions in Namibia. Despite being a small city, it is a bubbling business district that has trendy shopping malls, bars, and restaurants

4. Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Major city for business and government, Dar Es Salaam is the largest and richest city in Tanzania.

5. Nairobi, Kenya

Nairobi and its outskirts offer a spellbinding landscape to its visitors. Home to several business opportunities and tourism, it is the most populous city in Eastern Africa.

6. Luanda, Angola

Luanda is the capital of Africa’s third-largest oil producer and is home to the nation’s main seaport and administrative center. Angola stands out for its unique landscape and view.

7. Cape Town, South Africa

Located at the foot of Table Mountain, the picturesque view that the city offers on a clear and sunny day is hard to describe in words. It is also not far from the famous Cape of Good Hope.

8. Johannesburg, South Africa

Known as the tourist paradise, Johannesburg is the largest and wealthiest city in South Africa. Filled with life, enthusiasm, and an amazing culture. It is clean and has world-class shopping malls, hotels, and its airport is one of the best.

9. Tunis, Tunisia

Home to modern office buildings in narrow streets with whitewashed one or two-story houses with blue windows and doors, Tunis will have you reminiscing about the islands of Greece or Andalusia in Spain.

10. Marrakech, Morocco

Number one on our list is Marrakech, one of the most exotic places in the world. Its red-colored buildings, beautiful oriental palaces and mosques, and vibrant local markets are what make Marrakech one of the most enchanting and beautiful African city.
