List of African capitals
As less economically developed, many countries of this continent have the lowest level of life quality in the world. Two capital cities, Cape Town and Pretoria in South Africa are considered the best places to live in this region.
The most visited cities by tourists are Cape Town, Cairo, and Tunis. These travel destinations are popular among those who are seeking for vibrant colors, ancient monuments, natural attractions, and exotic wildlife along with beautiful beaches. Less known, but also very exciting, are such capitals like Nairobi, Dakar, Port Louis, and Antananarivo.
