List of African capitals

As less economically developed, many countries of this continent have the
lowest level of life quality in the world. Two capital cities, Cape Town and
Pretoria in South Africa are considered the best places to live in this region.
The most visited cities by tourists are Cape Town, Cairo, and Tunis. These
travel destinations are popular among those who are seeking for vibrant
colors, ancient monuments, natural attractions, and exotic wildlife along
with beautiful beaches. Less known, but also very exciting, are such capitals
like Nairobi, Dakar, Port Louis, and Antananarivo.
