Africa is not always the first continent people think of for remote work, but a growing number of cities are proving that it deserves a place on the list.
Coastal towns with a slower pace suit people who want long stretches of focused work broken up by ocean air and cheap, fresh food. Bigger cities offer a different kind of pull, with coworking spaces, faster internet, and a growing community of other remote workers to meet after hours. Costs remain low compared to many popular hubs elsewhere, which lets a modest budget stretch much further. Power and internet reliability can vary block by block, so a bit of research before booking really pays off.
The destinations on our list for Africa combine established remote work hubs with newer spots just starting to build a scene. Patience with the occasional hiccup tends to be repaid with a much lower cost of living.
