Africa is the world’s second-largest continent, spanning a vast range of climates from the Sahara Desert in the north to tropical rainforests in the central region and savannahs in the east and south.
The continent’s cultural structure reflects a mosaic of over a thousand languages and ethnic groups, shaped by ancient kingdoms, trans-Saharan trade, and European colonial borders. Africa illustrates both the opportunities and the challenges emerging from this changing investment landscape.
The Africa Passport Power Rankings for 2026, according to Henley & Partners, publishes the Henley Passport Index — a focus on intra-African travel freedom, with excellent mobility for those with strong passports. Notable mentions include countries like Seychelles and Mauritius, which rank highly due to their excellent regional access and strong mobility within Africa.
