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.
