Africa is a continent recognized for its great diversity of ethnic groups that identify themselves according to their culture, language, religion, and customs. It is no secret to anyone that most Africans tend to seek a better quality of life in other latitudes, but what few know is that there are a variety of countries on that continent that are good options for emigrating.
And yes, it sounds a bit contradictory to have Africa as an option to emigrate when almost 46% of its inhabitants seek to go to other continents, according to figures published by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the African Union (AU). However, it is a region that stands out for its tropical climate, for having a great diversity of animals, natural beauty, and even for having countries with a good quality of life and emerging economies that make it attractive to some.

Beyond those prejudices that qualify it as the continent poorest of all, Africa has gradually developed in different aspects, thus becoming an interesting place to emigrate. Which countries are the best for it? Here we look at five good options.
Morocco
Located in North Africa, Morocco is usually one of the continent’s tourist destinations par excellence due to its natural landscapes and geographical variety. Likewise, it should be noted that their good educational quality, the social tolerance that characterizes them, the climatic diversity, as well as the warmth of their inhabitants, make them a viable option to emigrate from anywhere in the world.
On the other hand, it can be highlighted that Morocco has a much lower rate of violence (2.1%) than Latin American countries such as Brazil (23.6%), Bolivia (36.3%), and Venezuela (45.6%). ), according to data from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. This, without a doubt, shows that in the African nation there is an atmosphere of peace and security.
Djibouti
Very few will know this destination, but Djibouti has several attractions that place it on the list of ideal African countries to emigrate to. Despite being surrounded by some nations at war, they are considered the jewel in the crown of the Horn of Africa, standing out for their crime-free environment.
To all this, we must add the human quality of its inhabitants, who are proud of their country, and the excellent places for ecotourism. Furthermore, something that characterizes Djibouti is its economy and this can be seen in its inflation rate (2.55%), which is very low if we look at the percentages of Argentina (50.9%), Brazil (10 .06%), or Uruguay (7.96%), according to the latest list published by the Trending Economics portal.
Angola
Touristically, is a special destination, but the detail that places Angola among the best countries to emigrate to is its fertile lands, ideal for putting down roots and starting from scratch. Its main language is Portuguese and its culture has some similarities with the Brazilian, so the Latin immigrant will feel more comfortable.
A study carried out by the IndexMundi portal detailed that Angola is among the countries with the best world growth rate (3.4%). This point shows the annual result of a surplus of births over deaths and the balance of migrants entering and leaving a country. The African nation has better numbers than Cuba (-0.25%), Chile (0.7%), or El Salvador (0.78%).
Egypt
is no secret to anyone that Egypt’s cultural heritage is its letter of introduction for both tourists and immigrants. The different historical places, as well as natural landscapes, are mixed with the modernity of cities like Cairo, a clear example of what an African metropolis is full of life and defined by the constant coming and going of its inhabitants.
According to the latest ranking published by the World Bank in conjunction with data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the African nation has the best growth in terms of annual Gross Domestic Product per capita (with 1.6%) if we compare it with Latin American countries such as Bolivia (-10.1%), Costa Rica (-4.9%) or Colombia (-7.8%).
South Africa
Considered one of the world’s great emerging economies since the beginning of the 21st century, South Africa continues to emerge as one of the best nations in Africa. Today it has a 64% urban population, and since it achieved its independence it has been the example of the entire continent in different areas.
With the main objective of lifting the millions of people who have been trapped in poverty, the nation has made efforts to improve its labor force index. Although it is surpassed by several Latin American countries, its growth in recent years has been more remarkable compared to that seen in Panama, Nicaragua, or Peru. In addition to having a great educational offer that also allows you to study and perfect your English.
