South Africa Named Africa’s Most Beautiful Country by Rough Guides
South Africa has been named Africa’s most beautiful country for 2026 by travel publication Rough Guides. It was the only African country included in the publication’s list of the world’s 20 most beautiful countries. The recognition highlights the country’s beaches, mountain ranges, wildlife reserves, coastal road trips and distinctive floral landscapes. Cape Town’s Table Mountain, the Garden Route, the Drakensberg, Kruger National Park and Namaqualand’s seasonal wildflowers were among the major attractions cited. The ranking may revive discussion among Nigerians about tourism in South Africa, as well as the differing experiences of Nigerians living or visiting there amid recurring concerns about xenophobia.
