Africa has more than fifty countries and no regional plan covers all of them. Lists tend to cluster around the most visited markets, such as Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania, and thin out elsewhere. North African countries are sometimes filed under the Middle East or even attached to Europe plans. Outside cities, coverage is often from a single operator, so the local network behind the plan matters. Regional plans suit safari circuits and overland routes that cross borders.
- Check every country on the route by name, including small ones you transit, such as Eswatini, Lesotho or Rwanda.
- In parks and reserves, expect signal at lodges and gates and little in between. Download maps before leaving the last town.
- Morocco and Egypt each have their own rules on calling apps and imported phones. Read those country pages before you go.

Frequently asked questions
Do all Africa eSIM plans cover the same countries?
No. Among the 8 products we track, the lists go from 11 to 47 countries. The table on this page shows each one.
What is the cheapest regional eSIM for Africa?
On October 5, 2026, the cheapest was Ubigi Best Africa: 1 GB, 30 days at $7.00, covering 29 countries.
Is there one eSIM that works across all of Africa?
Not that covers every country. Regional plans list a subset. For a multi-country trip, filter by your exact countries and expect that one may need its own plan.
Are Morocco and Egypt included in Africa plans?
Sometimes. Providers also file them under the Middle East, and a few attach Morocco to wider Europe plans. Search by country.
