In this video, I'll list the top ten African countries with the nicest weather, at least in my opinion.
1. South Africa
South Africa has a beautiful climate patchwork of warm coastal subtropics, hot deserts, humid highlands, snow-topped mountains and an enclave of Mediterranean weather in the southwest. The high altitude of South Africa’s interior means the country is generally much cooler than southern hemisphere countries at the same latitude, such as Australia.The region around the Cape Peninsula, including Cape Town, has a Mediterranean climate: cold and miserable rain in winter, balanced by glorious, clear-sky summers. South Africa is one of the few African countries that actually four seasons and it even snows! It is a country of glorious rainy summers and beautifully cool winters, with the average temperature being a cool and comfortable 24 degrees Celsius.
2. Kenya
Kenya is a country in East Africa that is on the equator. You'd think it'd be blistering hot, right? That is not the case, due to the fact that the majority of it is mountainous and located at a high elevation. Mount Kenya, Africa's second highest peak, is found here. This mountain's impact on the climate is evident. The Nyandarua ranges, Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kulal, Nyambene Hills, Mt Elgon, and Cherangany Hills, among others, help to temper the weather. This means that the majority of Kenya is higher than 1000 meters above sea level, with an average daytime temperature of a pleasant 23 degrees Celsius.
3. Tanzania
Tanzania is in many ways like Kenya. It is home to Africa's highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro. Other mountains in Tanzania include Mt. Meru, the Ol Doinyo Lengai, the Usambara Mountains, and the Uluguru Mountains in Morogoro. Many places in Tanzania have temperatures that rarely go beyond 27 degrees centigrade due to the moderating effect of these mountains. The Tanzanian highlands are always cool and pleasant. If you are a fan of warm tropical climate, Tanzania will comfortably accommodate you in the coastal areas and the island of Zanzibar.
4. Uganda
Uganda is constantly warm, nice and sunny, without ever becoming hot. At night it may cool down to 20 degrees, and during the day it will never go beyond 29 degrees. It is always breezy, it rains a lot in short downpours, and then the sun shines back again. The country in and around Kampala is incredibly green and beautiful.
5. Seychelles
The sheer beauty of Seychelles lies in its status as the premier tropical paradise in Africa. The country may not be mountainous, but the breeze from the ocean moderates the temperature. The average daily temperature is around 26 degrees celcius in July and August, 27 degrees celciusin January, and 28 degrees celcius in March, April, and May, which are the warmest months. The temperature, however, varies little between night and day and season; it rarely exceeds 33 degrees during the day and drops below 22 degrees at night.
6. Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a climatically diverse country, and there are three different climate zones in the country, and the weather varies substantially depending on altitude. The lowlands are generally hot and humid, while cooler temperatures characterise the Ethiopian Highlands. Many towns in Ethiopia lie in the high altitude areas of Ethiopia, which are characterized by an average cool and temperate temperature of around 22 degrees Celsius. It can get very chilly and reach lows of below 10 degrees in some parts of the Ethiopian highlands.
7. Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe enjoys a lovely, temperate climate.During the wet season, from November to March, rain usually falls in the afternoon. The dry season, from April to October, is colder. Nights and mornings can be as cold as 5 degrees celcius , but daytime temperatures are still pleasant and sunny. Temperatures are relatively cool, typically around 10 degrees in the morning and 28 degrees in the afternoon.
8. Rwanda
Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills for a reason. It is full of hills and mountains that moderate its climate, being near the equator. Because of its high elevation, Rwanda has a temperate tropical highland climate with lower temperatures than is typical for equatorial countries.
9. Zambia
Zambia experiences a predominantly sub-tropical climate characterized by three distinct seasons: a hot and dry season (mid-August to mid-November), a wet and rainy season (mid-November to April) and a cool and dry season (May to mid-August).Temperatures are modified by elevation, with the highest mean daily maximum temperatures occurring in the Luangwa valley and the southwest.
10. Malawi
Malawi's climate is generally tropical. The altitude moderates what would otherwise be an equatorial climate.The capital, Lilongwe, is located at 1,100 meters above sea level and has mild temperatures, ranging from 23 degrees in November (which is the hottest month) to 14 degrees in July.
