I have been involved in development in Africa for many years and part of that has been supporting social enterprises. You are right that in many counties it is so wide open that even something as simple as a pizza joint (that actually makes good pizza) can have fantastic returns. The part you missed is the real need to have a local partner if you are going to do anything on the ground. The nuances of local culture and the trust needed to success with any deal in Africa really requires those kinds of connections. If you have them the sky is the limit. I have seen apartments built in second and third cities in countries like Senegal get 20% yields and up.
VERY GOOD POINT!
:)
Agreed. There are some phenomenal businesspeople in Uganda as well.
You also can't be squeamish about bribes. Africa works in a certain way, and like no other. You want to succeed in Mozambique? You need to bribe the traffic officer just to not pay the fine for not having a drivers licence that he conveniently lost in his pocket. Give him a 2 litre coke, and licence magically appears! Be subtle of course, lest he accuse you of trying to bribe him.
Hey is there anything like nomad capitalist that focuses on African countries taxes and relations.
I’m an American living in the UAE. One of the best parts about living in the Middle East. I’ve been to South Africa, Egypt, and Kenya. It’s ok if people don’t want to invest in Africa because I will. It will be more opportunities for someone like me.
Yep. I originally subscribed to Nomad Capitalist 8 years ago when he had 7000 subs, but un-subbed a few years ago. I do check in here once in a Blue Moon. In the past I added a few comments about my experience in Africa (Morocco and Tanzania primarily), but NC's subscribers are 98% "Westerners" - and Andrew has openly admitted to this: "Romance Novel daydreamers" . They view Africa with disdain, and even worse, a Colonizer mindset.
As you know, working and investing in any of the 54 African Countries is not for the faint of heart. Its hard work, and only a special few - especially from the Diaspora - ever get there. But, I have estimated at least 100,000 American Diasporans have relocated to Africa over the past 5 years - mostly to West Africa (Ghana/The Gambia/etc.).
For me, at the end of the day, it's not so much about attempting to transplant Western Cultural Capitalism to Thee Continent, it's about how at peace we are when we are there. There is no greater _Wealth_ than that. Good luck my Brother, and Peace be upon you and yours.
I live in the UAE too and formed a company with a Liberian friend , lots of opportunities there for sure
Just relocated to Tanzania last year, best decision I ever made. Make sure to connect with the local people and you need someone you can trust
Any specific places in Tanzania?
How is it there??
Fa real thats so true gots to connect with local people
Ghana is an underrated player I’ve got guys on the ground constantly bringing solid investment opportunities
They're Ghana make you rich
The Chinese, Asians, Turks, Jews, Europeans, Indians and Arabs are silently making money in Ghana because of strong currency, good leaders with brains and stable economy!
Ghana requires $500,000 for foreigners to be able to invest... f*ck that shit, I'm going to Rwanda instead.
@@jzk2020 Rwanda 🇷🇼 is easily 2nd pick for stable economy on the rise in Africa!
@@dexterspeights3484Ghana’s economy is much bigger than Rwanda
Yes I would like more content about Africa. In fact not just about Africa but also other parts of the world for people with a stomach like Central Asia as well as what they're doing to become more competitive
This is was great. I’m happy you covered Africa and it’s opportunities.
We lived in Egypt 🇪🇬 they are super friendly and welcoming.
I recommend it if you are adventurous, patient and open-minded. If you're planning to do business there, be very vigilant and trust no one, everyone there will try to con you.
That's anyone in the world even in the usa.
Import all their food and energy.
For women who loved being publicly fondled
@@patienceisalphaDo you think Morocco and Russia(after the current ongoing war) are better options than Egypt?
I recently spent 2 months living in Tanzania, it was great. Spent time in both Dar es salaam and Zanzibar.
I was in Africa for a couple of months almost 30 years ago -- Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Beautiful places, beautiful people. Everybody was so welcoming. I'd love to go back to see how it's changed.
We are doing great in Zimbabwe.....
I'll save you the trip: Only visit Cape Town and the Western Cape in general if you come to SA. You can tell where the provincial boundaries end and ANC controlled areas begin.
@@JonathanWrightSAit's funny how Johannesburg is still most preferred in SA under Gauteng run by black person so stop your racist rhetoric is discusting Cape town is in Africa it's president is a Black South African
@@MoeketsiMoseme I have had more electricity, better roads, and water actually comes out of my taps. What you got Brah? Not water or paved roads 😂
Investing in Africa ( well, depending on the country) is not for the faint-hearted but will rightly reward the resilient ones as the possibility of having astronomical ROI can’t be ignored, especially south of the Sahara, which has immense potential due to its great need for various infrastructures.
I'm very interested in investiment opportunities and visa opportunities in africa, id love to see more content on this
Thanks for talking about Africa and Morocco which I asked for - wonderful job !
great info and vid. hope to hear more as well.
I would definitely love to learn more about various investment opportunities in Africa!
Noted. Thank you.
you should
Finally a deep dive into Africa and a few more reasons to check some of these countries out.
Thank you for putting this out there.
Absolutely. I’d love to hear more of the analysis of these markets. Thanks for this video nomad .
Very interested in more content like this Andrew, thank you. I am heading to Kenya and Egypt this year for work and will be scouting during my time there.
Yes, let's hear more.
Would love to hear some people with experience. Thank you for making these videos.
Awesome 👍🏾Video. Please do more videos like this...more in depth.
I would love to hear more about Investments in African countries
Hi Andrew! Please make more videos about Africa. Would love to hear more. Thanks
Hi Matt! You might like this video czcams.com/video/lkbW_6-mEk0/video.html
Good advice.
Great video Andrew. As always!
Thank you.
Your obviously spying on me 😂 great video Andrew!
I remember requesting this from your channel and I'm so grateful you've done this. Thank you Nomad Capitalist. Africa isn't perfect but isn't all bad either, there are some pretty good opportunities on our continent. The problems we must deal with unfortunately ( at least in Kenya where I live) are corruption, political violence, and needless bureaucracy.
Great Job 👍
I've been interested in Africa since first hearing Doug Casey talk about opportunities on the continent around 2015 and then reading his African-set novel, "Speculator". He would be a great guest on this topic. Cote d'Ivoire and Morocco, among others, have been of interest to me for the possibility of doing business in French.
Love this!
Would be keen to hear more - particularly interested in Rwanda, Ghana, Egypt and Namibia.
Having been to Tanzania twice, can say that it is very underrated. If I could I would live and invest there. As a retiree, I can go there, but not sure if I would be allowed to invest. I'm not African American, but believe that the current president is doing all the right things and would be proud to be called a citizen....Just saying.
The former President Magufuli was assassinated for refusing the vaccine and the new female President took it on camera to avoid the same fate. Something's afoot with Western Big Pharma. Kick Big Pharma out and I'm in..
Are you from the USA?
I’m Kenyan but in my opinion TZ will be a giant in a few decades. Prez Suluhu is doing a great job attracting business in TZ. They now have a portal where you can easily find details on how to set up business and immigration requirements. It’s a massive country with plenty of natural and wonderful people, as long as you respect their culture and norms…and speak Kiswahili
@@jambatvee3803Good Luck. Clearly you have lived in Tanzania
I would love to hear more. Especially places like Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda.
Rwanda is a ticking bomb!
I vote Uganda. The university in Mbarara is highly underrated. A lot of biotech coming out of there. Great investment long-term, perhaps?
Id love an interview with successful african entrepreneurs on the ground! Especially if you mix that with other topical issues like crypto, strategy, and how thats being implemented over there.
absolutely more info on the African continent, please!
Absolutely love to hear more! Glad to see you covering Africa
More videos on this please
I’m from Botswana and it’s rapidly developing however there’s still a lot of things we don’t have if I had the capital I’d implement 90% of American ideas or businesses and I’d be 100% certain that I will become a multi billionaire.
FINALLY! Thank you, Andrew!
Doug casey talked about Africa as a speculator
Nairobi had good internet speeds. Outside Nairobi, speeds were poor. Morocco seemed slow to me, but I was outside the large cities. Tunisia was good. That’s key for me. Wish someone could share wifi maps of African countries.
Outside Nairobi? I've been to all major cities in Kenya and a few towns and good internet speeds were pretty fine. Safaricom does an amazing job in terms of network coverage. Don't go on a Safari in the middle of nowhere and start complaining.
The problem might be power disruptions outside Nairobi. Kenya Power won't head to your frustrations as fast sometimes.
I agree. I'm in Morocco but have no info about Internet speeds and they exaggerate (lie)
Really?
What year was this? Internet in Kenya is fast outside Nairobi today.
Three years ago in Mombasa
Thank you for this video
Glad to have you.
Would be awesome to hear more about it all. Very keen to learn more. The contingent is the furtest away from me personally, by means of understanding
I would love to know more about investments in Africa and also more about what’s going on in the specific countries that were mentioned in this video. Definitely love an update or part 2 to this. Thanks again for the content 🙏🏾

Thank you for this very informative video. I'd love to see more about citizenship by investment in Africa as well as housing and transitioning a business to the continent as well. Keep up the quality informative videos. We need them in during this time!
Why would you want an African citizenship. African passports are treated as 3rd rate when traveling.
@@westmax8491 Why do you care what someone else wants?
been waiting to see something like this on Africa
Great!
I’m Liberian and I’m very interested in this topic please talk more about this
The Western Cape,Mauritius and Namibia are the only options even though the prices are on the expensive side.
You are correct.
Namibia is loosing the plot over rated few opportunities
definitely interested on more info in africa
I am definitely investing in Africa.
❤️ Africa
You should do more videos about Africa
Hit the thumbs up!
Thanks for addressing Africa. I have been to Nairobi twice this year, and will go again in October. I love the Country. I am a fairly tech savvy Lawyer, with a strong background in business and construction law. However, I do not see myself practicing law in Kenya. (Practicing law anywhere is a lot of responsibility.) I could see myself using my capital and partnering with a local to invest in an african business or local real estate. It would be a grand adventure!
When you look to the south do give me a shout....am based in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.
Morocco’s economy is greatly influenced by the royal family interests, also the automotive and aeronautical industry is booming, add to that the green hydrogen investments that are starting to take hold along the renewable energy.
No Wakanda?
Thank you would like to hear more
I love to hear more
Yes very true
I’d love to hear you talk more with people on the ground making investments in Africa. Thanks for the great content as always.
I bought farmland in Morocco I pay zero taxes a year ...I am planning to buy beach property next and build a container vacation rentals ...overall I am very happy , also being close to both Europe and America
More Africa content, please!
A video about Africa is much appreciated. No need to “translate” your other videos to suit Africa’s case. I can attest to Kenya (Mombasa and Nairobi) and Uganda (Kampala and Hoima).
Andrew, great insights. I worked in Burundi last year for 4 months. It was my first experience living and working in Africa (I have traveled to many countries for safari, vacation, etc.). Burundi used to be part of Rwanda during the Belgian colonial period and split during independence in 1962. They are ethnically similar with the same languages. Burundi seems to be decades behind Rwanda. All the young smart people who could not get to Europe or North America were going to Rwanda. Most imports and higher end labor in Burundi came from Rwanda. Of course management level at hotels, businesses and restaurants all came from Kenya. Rwanda is a sweet spot cheaper than Kenya and well developed. I think the difference between Rwanda and Burundi is political, Rwanda is much safer and more stable. Burundi is still run by the military. The road to Kigali from Burundi is like this : in Burundi it’s beat up with pot holes, once you enter Rwanda it’s smooth like in the West. I could not visit Rwanda last year as all borders were closed due to Covid19, normally Kigali was only a 4 hour drive. Kenya is relatively most developed in Central Africa. South Africa, Nigeria, the security is terrible so hard to consider when you need an armed guard 24x7. Botswana yes security is good and travel business strong. Zim can be considered for the adventurous, great safaris at half the price of BOT.
With respect to Nigeria it depends. Abuja is a world class city Lagos is a nightmare. South Africa cape Town is amazing. Joburg it depends. Just like Mexico is now a kidnap heaven. Kenya in EAST AFRICA not central is vibrant but corruption holds it back the statt-up scene is hot. I have several investments in YC and A16z backed companies. Depends on your hustle really
Epic pro tips. Thank you.
You’re talking nonsense, and clearly know very little about the continent. South Africa is the most developed country on the whole continent and quite safe politically and business wise, no insurgency or terrorism and goal breakdown of systems as you have in Nigeria and Congo. South African has an open market system and some of freest media on the world. South Africa has regular criminality due to it Ma high inequality but this is not any more than what you’d find in NYC…house break ins, armed robberies and car hijackings, no terrorism
For me, I would welcome to learn more about Morocco. I've investigated opening a company in Morocco - fairly straight forward and not expensive. They also - if memory serves - a type of Visa that would correspond to the company model.
The talent there is good - hiring employees in the range the 2-3K EUR p/m provides an above average lifestyle for them.
I would love to learn more about residency and some of the nuances of operating a business / company in the country.
I'm in Morocco now. Residency was relatively easy. It requires a statement about where you reside, your income, and a criminal check. Thats about it if memory serves me well.
Morocco is a closed currency though and this has huge effects on its payment system. For example, paypall does not convert to MAD. Its impossible to send money from paypall into Morocco. Furthermore, you need a specific kind of bank account to do online transactions above $1,000/year which is an incredibly small limit for online shopping.
@@harrisjm62 - The currency issue is definitely a problem. No worries about bringing currency into the country - the issue is getting it out.
If I recall, the 'limits' are for Moroccan citizens - FGN nationals are not restricted as much (might be mistaken) - I know citizens have a max annual travel budget +/- 4K EUR.
I don't bother with PayPal for any FGN txns - even IF they operated in MAD - they would rob you blind in FX - I use Wise (TransferWise) and they have great FX - also, the funds actually show up T+1 or T+2 depending on the time of day the remittance is initiated.
@@IamChevalier that limit was recently increased to 10K Euros a year
Thanks for this video. I think Helios Towers will be an great long term play on increasing cell phone use one the continent
More info about Africa thanks.
I'm definitely here for more African expat, citizenship and investment advice.
If socialist ANC removed from power at 2024 probably we can drastic immigration regulations change under the DA and Action SA
DA and Action SA openly saying they want foreign investors also those parties always pressuring to ANC implement e-visa and digital nomad visa but ANC not doing that
With ANC South Africa still stuck with two decades old immigration ACT and full of corrupt, lazy and technologically Stone Age immigration department
Thanks for the video. Africa is not often making the headlines on your channel. I appreicate that. What about island countries like Seychelles Maurituis Cape Verde? Are they worth considering? Could you do a list of the worst countries you would not want to invest in?
What do you think about countries like the Rep of Congo and DR Congo?
Tanzania is interesting for me
I bought farmland in Morocco I pay zero taxes a year ...I am planning to buy beach property next and build a container vacation rentals ...
Can you advise on how to buy land
We render our services in 3 african countries (allocating aviation manpower and remotely managing their contracts, among other services). Biggest problem have been sanitary and especially draconian/bureaucratic banking regulation (it looks a bit like what it was in Brazil during the 70s and early 80s)...
Are you hiring by any chance? Sounds like a cool job
The hyper inflation alone will destroy any monetary gains made in most African countries. Secondly, most African countries have huge shortages of foreign reserves which makes it close to impossible to import goods and services. Thirdly, there's been plenty of cases of banks in kenya and even in ivory coast losing client accounts and money. Lastly, the bureaucracy in Africa is far more frustrating and ridiculous than anyone can imagine.
How are the Asians and Arabs making billions in Africa??. Change your mindset 😅😅
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
As an accountant in South Africa, I can assure you that there is money to be made if you pick the right business.
🇸🇸 South Sudan!!!!
Please feature IT infrastructure and B2B service investment in Ghana.
Ghana 🇬🇭 rebuilding with diasporan wealth
Hey i am huge fan of yours...I am from Botswana still in varsity
Your are an inspiration for me the way you tackle business world
Botswana is such a great country!
Northern Africa is a new growth zone for food(Chinese heavenly invested) and central Egypt has been a part of the country which has also made it through geographical resets.
Would love to see more content about these far flung countries
Ivory coast people have an amazing culture there's nations that destroys themselves due to their own greed and corruption but the ivory coast does not do that. They always pick the growth of the economy and should definitely be #1
Would love to hear morw about Rwandan. Also, it is a small country geographically, but with a population of almost 13 million, it is higher than many of the other countries you talk about on this list.
it's an authoritarian regime with this president would not recommend to invest there.
As someone who's looking to relocate to Ghana. I would love to hear more about investment opportunities in Africa.
Really very good video on Africa..Thanks Andrew for showcasing Africa…🙏🙏
I'd love it if you did a video on Egypt. Both investing but also their citizenship by investment program. I know it's not great but some other folks have articles on it and I'd really like to hear the Nomad Capitalist views.
Here you go czcams.com/video/lkbW_6-mEk0/video.html
Bout time!!!
You mentioned Moldova at some point, could you please develop your idea around investing in this country. Appreciate your time invested.
Botswana is great on paper - but i would say also try Namibia
Togo would certainly be on that list if they would simply add and make English a priority in the public school systems. Togo leads Nigeria with annual port volume and it is the only deep-water port in all of West Africa. Togo also has an easy method of setting up a business online and does not require you to form fake paper-only partnerships with locals. Nor does Togo require you to pay enormous deposits to the country before setting up operations.
It's a francophone colony. English isn't and won't be an official priority.
@@ericpowell4350 Togo is an independent country that is a former colony of France. They are free to introduce whatever language they choose to introduce. It is in the nation's best interest to train and prepare its youth to speak the official language of international trade and business. Every country that thrives globally has a workforce that speaks English and trains its young people to speak English. ✌🏾
Not for long anymore..Have you not heard of the Lekki Deep Seaport coming up in Lagos Nigeria?
@@YenkoAfrica You really think the former French colonies aren't still "colonies"? You still have much to learn.

Amazing content mate....am based in Zimbabwe and I think people have the worts if mot wrong assumption of the country...did you know despite a terrible economy as depicted by media but Zimbabwe is the largest USD using country in allbof Africa.....everything is sold in USD rytbup to the local market. Zimbabwe is also super gold,diamond and many minerals rich with great investment opportunities.
Well done, informative. We at Boston Group Trust enjoy your content. My entire career has been about on the ground, direct investment in the southern hemisphere. The rules to successful exit are simple, keep it simple, the risk is over-weighted and watch your investment.
I would extremely love to learn how to invest in other countries and learning things on the ground would be great any kind of investments that I could do while I'm still in the US but invest overseas and what steps you have to take
Uganda has a lot of gold. That`s why I`m interested in Uganda and that`s all I know.
Ok, I need to go to more countries in Africa, I think the U.S in finish. Leah Tunkara
I’m interested in hearing more about investing on the ground in Ghana, Accra and Kumasi. There seems to be many opportunities there in many types of businesses.
Jumped at this video the instant I saw it! Africa fascinates me!
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Really like your open minded attitude. You give the pros and cons of different countries. Very educational. Keep the information coming.
It is about time...
Please Andrew would you clarify how one could buy real estate in Thailand if one is not Thai? Also in your previous video about best African country you mentioned Morocco, however you didn't mention Moroccan capital controls... N.B Please speak a touch slower as your information is deeply appreciated.
What about Namibia which is a relative new country just like Botswana its neighbor. Seem to have some good infrastructure in place already from German occupation like Botswana from English occupation. Lots of OIL, GAS, and Uranium activity in Energy sector in last couple of years. Not sure about residency.
Namibia has the best road infastructure in Africa and beats some of the top western countries in that category....however 1 thing that is concerning about namibia is that its one of the first African countries to sign up/agreed to roll out first the WEF 'health' pass, which will also lead to CBDC...I may be wrong on this but i remember reading this somewhere...that is worth investigating before thinking about namibia....it is a beautiful looking country otherwise
@@stevestevens502 good to know...
