Top 10 Most Populated Countries in Africa
(2013)

10. Sudan- 35,363,00 inhabitants

• Prior to July 2011 Sudan used to be the largest
  country in Africa (and 10th largest in the world)
  but it was divided unevenly into Sudan and South
  Sudan on that date. After the split, the
  northernmost section, known as Sudan, is the
  third largest country in Africa area-wise, and
  has a great deal of desert terrain within its
  borders.

9. Uganda - 35,363,000 inhabitants

• If you like the idea of a country where the
  average temperature is a pleasantly warm 28C and
  the people are known for their warmth and
  friendly hospitality, then Uganda is a country
  that you should consider visiting!

8. Algeria - 38,295,000 inhabitants

• Being a former French colony, it will come as no
  surprise that much of the population speaks the
  language, with up to 80 per cent of the
  population speaking Arabic too. Algeria is, by
  land area, the largest country in Africa (after
  Sudans split) but the population is restricted
  by the vast swathes of desert that comprise much
  of that area. Only 12 per cent of the land area
  is inhabited.

7. Kenya - 46,291,000 inhabitants

• Kenya is ideally situated on the equator and has
  plenty of fertile soil for growing crops of tea,
  coffee, flowers, fruit, vegetables and grains,
  while her wildlife is world famous. People come
  from all over the world to go on a safari in
  Kenya to see the big five (rhinoceros, buffalo,
  lion, elephant and leopard)

6. Tanzania - 45,950,000 inhabitants

• Tanzania is blessed for several reasons firstly,
  it is home to the only mountain in Africa that
  always has snow on its peaks Mt Kilimanjaro!
  Secondly, Tanzania has long been known as the
  cradle of mankind as Olduvai Gorge is the place
  where the oldest human remains (some two millions
  years old) have been found.

5. South Africa - 52,982,000 inhabitants

• Africas jewel, the rainbow nation of South
  Africa, is probably the best known and most
  visited of all the African countries. Table
  Mountain in Cape Town is an instantly
  recognisable feature and boasts, just on the
  mountain itself, more plants than the entire
  United Kingdom!

4. Democractic Republic of Congo - 74,618,000
inhabitants

• Given the turmoil currently plaguing the DRC it
  is highly unlikely that many people are visiting
  the nation for purely pleasurable pursuits, but
  one piece of advice to anyone visiting do not
  snap photographs of villagers and natives without
  asking permission. There is a superstition
  amongst some tribes that to be photographed is to
  lose a piece of the soul or spirit and given
  the vapid and inane stream of selfies that is
  currently plaguing the Internet, who is to say
  that they are completely wrong?

3. Egypt - 84,605,000 inhabitants

• Much is known about ancient Egypt, thanks to
  their philosophy of preserving material goods,
  pets and the bodies of important citizens. The
  Pyramids, Valley of the Kings and the Sphinx are
  major attractions in Egypt, along with many other
  important sites, like Karnak and Abu Simbel.
  Tourists come to Egypt, not only to glory in the
  wonders of ancient Egypt

10
2. Ethiopia - 86,614,000 inhabitants

• A little known fact about Ethiopia is that it is
  believed to be the place where coffee was
  discovered. A goatherd noticed that his charges
  would become restless after chewing the leaves of
  a particular plant and brought this fact to
  general attention. This happened in the Kaffa
  area of the country and the name coffee is
  believed to have arisen from the word.

11
1. Nigeria - 177,096,000 inhabitants

• The country has abundant mineral wealth and is
  blessed with stable geography (as is most of
  Africa, with earthquakes, landslides and similar
  natural disasters being all but unheard of!)
  Nigerians as a whole tend to be snappy dressers,
  proud of their appearance and confident when
  meeting strangers disconcertingly so to more
  reticent nationalities!
