African Islands (that put the Caribbean to shame)

Questions I'm often asked on my Twitter account are:

• Does Africa have Islands?
• Are the islands in Africa Beautiful, Open, and equipped for Tourists?
• How many Islands are there in Africa?

Today on Passport Kings, let’s look into it. 

When most people think of an Island Paradise, usually the Caribbean and the South Pacific come to mind. They are great but isn’t it time we all do something new? 

African Islands will be at the top of your to-do list by the end of this too.

An African Island Map is just the thing we need. 

This info will make it easy to pick our next African vacation destination and direct us to the beach!

Africa is home to some of the most incredibly beautiful islands. 

Here are the 7 best islands the continent has to offer.

7. Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique

The Bazaruto Archipelago is the perfect place for divers. 

The island’s water is home to numerous species of dolphins, whale sharks, colorful fish, manta rays, and more. 

Bazaruto is a perfect spot for resting and enjoying prawn platters while enjoying the lovely coral view, preserved, thanks to the island being a protected national park.

6. Chief’s Island, Botswana

This island is an idyllic spot for people who love a safari. 

You can enjoy sightseeing zebra, elephant herds, wildebeest, impala, and red lechwe which assemble on the island as well as crocodiles and hippos in the water.

On top of that, Chief’s Island is one of the largest Okavango Delta islands. It is also higher than other islands so it does not flood and when its water rises, it becomes a retreat for wildlife.

5. Djerba, Tunisia

Djerba is quite the tourist favorite. On the island, you can enjoy several water sport activities, great dining choices, and lovely sandy beaches. 

Or you could find quiet relaxation in the countryside nearby. 

The island, which is situated off the coast of Southern Tunisia is bursting with culture and is also among the only places in Tunisia where people still speak Berber.

4. Lamu Island, Kenya

In Lamu Island, you will be captivated by the nostalgia as you walk past astonishing merchant buildings, stroll down winding alleys and visit the old port. 

Lamu Island is regarded as one of the oldest and best-maintained Swahili settlements in the area.

3. Nosy Be, Madagascar

Although small, this stunning island pulls in thousands of tourists from all over the world, all year long. 

It is one of Madagascar’s leading tourist attractions. 

Nosy be is mostly famed for its astonishingly clear turquoise waters and its general serenity. On the island are lovely restaurants that serve absolutely delicious seafood.

2. Praslin, Seychelles

The idyllic Praslin island is the second biggest in Seychelles. In the old days, it used to be a hideaway location for pirates and Arab Merchants. 

Now, it is a well-loved tourist destination and welcomes you to stay in its various delightful resorts and hotels. Praslin Island is also home to several of the most stunning beaches like the gorgeous white sand, Anse Lazio beach, and Anse Georgette.
