  48. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/travel-guides/luxury-shopping-in-africa/">African continent</a> slowly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the global fashion arena, many are wondering which African country has the best fashion. Africa has long been known for its rich cultural heritage, diverse traditions, and of course, lively <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/culture/most-fashionable-african-countries/">fashion scene</a>.</p>
  49. <p>The emergence of trendsetting designers and young, up-and-coming talent in Africa have captivated the attention of fashion enthusiasts from all parts of the world. Join us in this breathtaking journey as we explore the continent&#8217;s fashion scene in-depth and find out which African country has the best fashion.</p>
  50. <h2><strong>What Is the Fashion Capital of Africa?</strong></h2>
  51. <p>From Nigeria&#8217;s economic capital, Lagos, to <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/adventure/road-trips-in-south-africa/">South Africa</a>&#8216;s bustling city of Johannesburg and Kenya&#8217;s capital, Nairobi, various cities in Africa vie for the title of fashion capital of Africa. However, Lagos slightly edges the others and is considered the fashion capital of Africa.</p>

  53. <p>Often dubbed the &#8216;New York of Africa&#8217;, Lagos is the driving force of Africa&#8217;s fashion scene. Fashion in Lagos is fearless and locals have embraced rich colour and pattern, and are always on the lookout for emerging trends. The city, which is home to over twenty million people, boasts a bustling street style scene, thanks to the creative energy of the young people.</p>
  54. <p>The Lagos Fashion Week, which takes place once a year in October, attracts thousands of fashion enthusiasts from all parts of the world. This provides opportunity for emerging designers to showcase their talent and gain recognition on the global scene.</p>
  55. <h2><strong>Which African Country Has the Best Fashion Style?</strong></h2>
  56. <p>Italy is arguably the world’s most fashionable country. This shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to any fashion enthusiast considering the fact that the country features legendary names in the fashion world, including Valentino Garavani, Gucci, Roberto Cavalli, Gianni Versace and Giorgio Armani.</p>
  57. <p>France, which has been a powerhouse in the fashion industry for many years, is ranked second. France often embodies embodies a country of art and luxury, which is why major fashion brands have been existing here for many years. Some of the brands originating from France include Dior, Channel, Saint Laurent, and Givenchy.</p>
  58. <p>In Africa, the country which has the best fashion style is Nigeria, thanks to the influence Lagos has on the continent&#8217;s fashion scene. Lagos has been dominating Africa&#8217;s fashion for the past few years and has earned approval from renowned fashion editors.</p>
  59. <div id="attachment_36778" style="width: 1290px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36778" class="size-full wp-image-36778" src="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION.webp" alt="Nigeria" width="1280" height="720" title="Which African Country Has the Best Fashion in Africa? 2" srcset="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION.webp 1280w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION-300x169.webp 300w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION-768x432.webp 768w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION-810x456.webp 810w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION-1140x641.webp 1140w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/NIGERIA-FASHION-150x84.webp 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /><p id="caption-attachment-36778" class="wp-caption-text">Nigeria has the best fashion style in Africa.

  60. <h2><strong>Which African Country Dresses the Best?</strong></h2>
  61. <p>Finally, this is the part where we answer the question of which African country has the best fashion. Fashion in Africa has evolved over the years, but designers have made sure our traditions are not completely forgotten when we adopt the Western style. Throughout the continent, various countries are still taking pride in their traditional attires and are arguably the best dressed.</p>
  62. <p>Ghana with its traditional <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g2437729-d2506934-Reviews-Kente_Weaving_Village-Ashanti_Region.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clothing kente</a> takes pride as the African country that dresses in the best manner. For starters, kente is a classic unisex African garment that is very common among the Ashanti people. The clothing, which was worn as a toga by Ghanaian royalties, is now very popular overseas.</p>
  63. <div id="attachment_36780" style="width: 1088px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36780" class="size-full wp-image-36780" src="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kente-1.jpeg" alt="Kente" width="1078" height="720" title="Which African Country Has the Best Fashion in Africa? 3" srcset="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kente-1.jpeg 1078w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kente-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kente-1-1024x684.jpeg 1024w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kente-1-768x513.jpeg 768w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kente-1-810x541.jpeg 810w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Kente-1-150x100.jpeg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1078px) 100vw, 1078px" /><p id="caption-attachment-36780" class="wp-caption-text">Ghana&#8217;s kente cloth. Photo/ Gallivant Africa.</p></div>
  64. <p>Nigeria with its Boubou also deserves to be mentioned when talking about the African countries that dress the best. Boubou is a garment won by both men and women and is common not only in Nigeria but also in Mali, Mauritania and Djibouti. It is considered an outward sign of wealth in other communities.</p>
  65. <h2><strong>What Is the Most Fashionable City in Africa?</strong></h2>
  66. <p>The trendsetting fashion capitals in Africa are some of the biggest cities on the continent. Below are the most fashionable cities in Africa:</p>
  67. <ul>
  68. <li>Lagos, Nigeria</li>
  69. <li>Johannesburg, South Africa</li>
  70. <li>Nairobi, Kenya</li>
  71. <li>Dakar, Senegal</li>
  72. <li>Accra, Ghana</li>
  73. <li>Cape Town, South Africa</li>

  75. <li>Casablanca, Morocco</li>
  76. <li>Abidjan, Ivory Coast</li>
  77. <li>Cairo, Egypt</li>

The five-day event is one of the biggest showdowns on the continent and features designers and some of the most prominent models.</p>

  102. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Talk of beautiful dunes and Big Daddy Namibia takes it home. However, this breathtaking scenery at the Namib Desert, Africa’s home to the biggest sand dunes is attracting ‘overexcited tourists.’</p>
  103. <p>A short while back, a group of tourists posed for photos while in their ‘birthday suit’ and this drew lots of criticism <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/culture/marrying-a-namibian-woman/">from Namibians</a>. They couldn’t comprehend why the Big Daddy Dune had to be shared with the rest of the world in this manner. Consequently, Namibian authorities denounced the visitors who took photos atop the Big Daddy dune while in a very compromising physical state.</p>
  104. <p>A spokesman for the tourist ministry informed local media that the unidentified international visitors might not be allowed to enter any of Namibia&#8217;s parks ever again.</p>
  105. <h2>Where is the Big Daddy Sand Dune?</h2>
  106. <p>The stunning Big Daddy dune is located halfway between the Deadvlei and Sossusvlei regions of the Namib Desert.  It dwarfs the other dunes at 325 meters to stand as the tallest sand dune in Sossusvlei.</p>
  107. <h2>How Long Does It Take to Climb Big Daddy Namibia?</h2>
  108. <div id="attachment_36788" style="width: 1090px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36788" class="size-full wp-image-36788" src="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune.jpg" alt="big daddy namibia" width="1080" height="1080" title="Big Daddy Namibia and Why Some Tourists do the Unthinkable Here 4" srcset="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune.jpg 1080w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune-300x300.jpg 300w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune-150x150.jpg 150w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune-768x768.jpg 768w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune-810x810.jpg 810w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bigg-Daddy-Dune-96x96.jpg 96w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /><p id="caption-attachment-36788" class="wp-caption-text">The Big Daddy Dune in Namib Desert. Photo/Pinterest</p></div>
  109. <p>Big Daddy Namibia, is more than simply a charming landscape. It is a war against nature posed as a tourist destination. Despite the gorgeous climb it presents in photos, it hands you a perfect endurance test in reality.  Big Daddy is not as tall as he looks at 325 meters. Your feet sink into the searing sand, making every stride feel like two back. The already difficult ascent becomes even more difficult due to the unrelenting heat in the desert.</p>
  110. <p>Although it may seem doable, most people consider one hour to be an optimistic estimate.  It&#8217;s a mental and physical struggle to climb.  Lungs scream for oxygen, muscles burn, and the top feels forever away. However, something amazing occurs. As you cross a ridge, the <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/adventure/desert-elephants-of-namibia/">Namib desert</a> opens up in front of you. A reward worth every drop of sweat is Deadvlei&#8217;s skeletal trees, which stand guard against an unending crimson dune landscape.</p>
  111. <p>Even though the fall is simpler, it still poses a unique difficulty.  The loose sand turns into a river that flows and tempts you to run, which is a surefire way to end badly.  Interestingly, even the most experienced climbers are humbled by Big Daddy Namibia. It&#8217;s an ongoing struggle against the environment, oneself, and the constant want to give up. But what really makes the trek an amazing experience are the bragging rights, the stunning vista, and the sense of accomplishment at the top.</p>
  112. <h2>What is the Highest Dune in Namibia?</h2>
  113. <p>Dune 7 is the highest dune in Namibia. It is the crowned monarch <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/travel-guides/o-portuga-restaurant-windhoek/">of Namibian</a> sand dunes, rising to a whopping height of 383 meters.  A clean sand mountain, the hues of blazing orange changing with each gust of wind characterize this dune. The ascent is a pilgrimage for daring individuals. Every footfall sinks a momentary imprint on this ever-shifting terrain. The unrelenting heat of the sun causes perspiration to shimmer like mirages in the distance. But the world changes more the higher you go. Below you, the desert stretches out endlessly, a magnificent canvas adorned with intense shades of purple and orange.</p>
  114. <div id="attachment_36789" style="width: 1610px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36789" class="size-full wp-image-36789" src="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7.jpg" alt="big daddy namibia" width="1600" height="1067" title="Big Daddy Namibia and Why Some Tourists do the Unthinkable Here 5" srcset="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7.jpg 1600w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7-810x540.jpg 810w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Dune-7-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /><p id="caption-attachment-36789" class="wp-caption-text">Dune 7 in the Namib Desert. Photo/Peter Ndungu</p></div>
  115. <p>It is a victory to reach the pinnacle. You are dwarfed by the sheer size of the desert as you stand atop a giant. As a sobering reminder of the unadulterated power of nature, the planet appears to go on forever. The azure Atlantic Ocean waves shimmer far away, as to a precious gem against the arid landscape.</p>
  116. <p>Those who have been to Dune 7 describe it as an experience rather than merely a geographical wonder. It&#8217;s an endurance test, an incentive for determination and a window into Namibia&#8217;s breathtakingly beautiful desert interior. Even if the wind quickly wipes them away, it&#8217;s a spot where you leave your mark on history.</p>
  117. <h2>Where is the Tallest Sand Dune in Africa?</h2>
  118. <p><a href="https://www.sossusvlei.org/attractions/big-daddy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sossusvlei dunes</a> – Dune 7 in particular – at the heart of the Namib Desert is Africa’s tallest sand dune.  It rises to 1,256 ft (383 metres). Climbing to the top is treacherous but rewarding too with a panoramic view of the desert and breathtaking sceneries to soak in. Another unique thing about Dune 7 is that it is also close to the Atlantic Ocean. It is at the top that you enjoy the best of both worlds; the desert and the ocean.</p>
  119. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
  120. <p>The Namib Desert is a sight to behold with the best views and experiences in an African desert. It is the other option for mountain climbing in the wetter regions of Africa adorned with mountains such as Mt Kenya and Mt Kilimanjaro.</p>

  144. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Which are the most fashionable African countries? African fashion has gained much recognition in the past few years in the global fashion arena. The boundless creativity and resilience by African designers have earned them a seat on the table in international runway shows where they not only represent their brands but also their countries.</p>
  145. <p>With the world starting to recognize the efforts of our able designers, we have decided to take a look at the most fashionable African countries. Below are the countries whose street styles, markets and fashion weeks are well-positioned to lead.</p>
  146. <h2><strong>1. Nigeria</strong></h2>

  150. <h2><strong>2. South Africa</strong></h2>
  151. <p>A few countries in the continent love fashion like <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/travel-guides/luxury-shopping-in-south-africa/">South Africa</a> and it&#8217;s no surprise that it ranks among the most fashionable African countries. The growing participation of South African designers in major fashion brands such as the Paris, Milan and New York Fashion Weeks is proof that the country has taken huge strides in developing its fashion industry.</p>

  207. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>African Cities with the best healthcare are a true gem to anyone planning an African safari or relocation. Proper health systems are among the top three hierarchy needs some African countries spend millions of dollars in every budget year.</p>
  208. <p>Moreover, Africa is turning out to be a <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/culture/best-african-countries-for-american-expats/">retirement paradise</a> for different people across the world. One of the major factors they look at is how good a country’s health system is. This article focuses on African cities with advanced health systems.</p>
  209. <h2>Which African Country Has the Best Health Care System?</h2>
  210. <p>South Africa has the best healthcare system in Africa. It scored 63.5 in the continent’s health index in 2023 followed by Kenya with 61.5 points according to Numbeo&#8217;s 2023 <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1403693/countries-with-the-highest-health-care-index-africa/#:~:text=Countries%20with%20the%20highest%20health,Africa%202019%2D2023%2C%20by%20country&amp;text=In%202023%2C%20South%20Africa%20had,considered%20to%20be%20reasonably%20high." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Health Care Index</a> by City. The health care index considers several variables, including the general standard of treatment, medical specialists, staff, equipment, and physician costs.</p>
  211. <p>Everyone, including immigrants, is guaranteed access to healthcare under the terms of the South African constitution. Additionally, the public healthcare system provides free basic care in hospitals and clinics, catering to the majority.  It also leads the globe in giving HIV/AIDS patients antiretroviral therapy.</p>
  212. <h2>Which are the African Cities With The Best Healthcare?</h2>
  213. <p>Here are the 12 African cities with the best healthcare.</p>
  214. <h3>Cape Town</h3>
  215. <p>One of the many respectable medical facilities in <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/destinations/cheap-things-to-do-in-cape-town/">Cape Town</a> is Mediclinic Cape Town, which provides a comprehensive range of medical treatments. Men&#8217;s health is also the focus of Men&#8217;s Clinic Cape Town, and alternative therapies are offered by Cape Chiropractor and other chiropractic clinics. The city has everything needed to accommodate both locals and visitors.</p>

  217. <h3>Pretoria</h3>
  218. <p>Pretoria is home to medical facilities like the cutting-edge technology-equipped Netcare Pretoria East Hospital and the individualized care-renowned Zuid Afrikaans Hospital. Mediclinic Kloof Hospital is popular for its specialist care. The healthcare system in the city is greatly influenced by these facilities.</p>
  219. <h3>Johannesburg</h3>
  220. <div id="attachment_36756" style="width: 1782px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36756" class="size-full wp-image-36756" src="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii.jpg" alt="african cities with the best healthcare" width="1772" height="1181" title="12 African Cities with the Best Healthcare 11" srcset="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii.jpg 1772w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii-300x200.jpg 300w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii-768x512.jpg 768w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii-810x540.jpg 810w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/King-Edward-Vii-150x100.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1772px) 100vw, 1772px" /><p id="caption-attachment-36756" class="wp-caption-text">King Edward VII&#8217;s Hospital in Johannesburg. Photo/LaingBuisson News</p></div>
  221. <p>South African capital, Johannesburg is at the heart of African Cities with the best healthcare. King Edward VIII Hospital, a tertiary-level facility located in the capital provides services to KwaZulu-Natal and the larger Eastern Cape region. Joint Medical Holdings (City Hospital) has a trauma unit that is open around-the-clock along with excellent nursing care.  There are other private facilities in Johannesburg offering world-class medical services.</p>
  222. <h3>Durban</h3>
  223. <p>Durban is home to the sub-acute hospital Humana Health Care and the pediatric heart surgery centre Ethekwini Hospital and Heart Centre. Then, Lenmed Shifa Hospital provides all-inclusive medical services.</p>
  224. <h3>Nairobi</h3>
  225. <p>Kenya’s capital, Nairobi is not only famous as an <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/culture/east-african-country-with-the-most-beautiful-ladies/">East African</a> commercial but also a centre of medical excellence.  As one of the African Cities with the best healthcare, players in the sector have invested massively in research, medical equipment, personnel and care. While public hospitals serve a huge population, private hospitals offer specialized and modern care.</p>
  226. <h3>Lagos</h3>
  227. <p>Nigeria’s commercial capital has a glowing healthcare system. Private hospitals carry the day here as they are better staffed, funded and equipped. Generally, though, research development in Nigeria’s medical field is well-funded.</p>
  228. <h3>Casablanca</h3>
  229. <div id="attachment_36757" style="width: 1510px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-36757" class="size-full wp-image-36757" src="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca.jpg" alt="african cities with the best healthcare" width="1500" height="838" title="12 African Cities with the Best Healthcare 12" srcset="https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca.jpg 1500w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca-300x168.jpg 300w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca-768x429.jpg 768w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca-810x453.jpg 810w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca-1140x637.jpg 1140w, https://seeafricatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Casablanca-150x84.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /><p id="caption-attachment-36757" class="wp-caption-text">Casablanca hospital. Photo/Asharq Al-Awsat</p></div>
  230. <p>Morocco&#8217;s largest city and capital city has a mix of public and private healthcare options. The public system offers heavily subsidized care, but quality may vary depending on location.  Private facilities are emerging, particularly for wealthier citizens, offering more specialized treatment. Still factoring in the quality of services offered, it makes it to the African Cities with the best healthcare.</p>
  231. <h3>Algiers</h3>
  232. <p>Algiers prioritizes public healthcare and offers substantial subsidies, much like Casablanca.  A lot of middle-income earners rely on the public healthcare system while the wealthy opt for private options.</p>
  233. <h3>Tunis</h3>
  234. <p>The public healthcare system in Tunisia is highly respected and prioritizes preventative care.  In comparison to South Africa, private options are less common in Tunis because of the proactive approach.</p>
  235. <h3>Accra</h3>
  236. <p>The healthcare industry in Ghana&#8217;s capital is expanding rapidly. While considerable speciality is available, public hospitals offer basic care as well.</p>
  237. <p>Alexandria<br />
  238. Alexandria has a reputation for being a medical hub for medical studies, and its influence still reigns in the current emphasis on medical research and education. The city has a range of options for both public and private healthcare. Public hospitals offer free medical care, but their supplies and equipment may be limited. Private hospitals with cutting-edge equipment and specialized physicians, win it with the best medical care in Africa.</p>
  239. <h3>Cairo</h3>
  240. <p>Cairo, the Egyptian capital, has the nation&#8217;s greatest concentration of medical facilities and specialists. Compared to other cities, there is a greater variety of innovative therapies available at numerous hospitals that specialize in different sectors.</p>
  241. <p>Its public healthcare system sometimes struggles with overcrowding, lengthy wait periods, and inadequate funding. Nevertheless, it provides very good services. Private hospitals, such as Dar Al Fouad Hospital, provide a more comfortable experience with staff who understand English and state-of-the-art technology.</p>
  242. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
  243. <p>In the 12 African cities with the best healthcare, it is evident that private hospitals score highly. While public hospitals try to match the services offered in private facilities, they are not as largely funded which impacts the quality of services. Nevertheless, they are equally great.</p>

  349. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kenya leads the way in having the most handsome men in Africa 2024 which is highly interesting.  A new survey by Insider Monkey puts together a list of 10 countries in Africa with the <a href="https://seeafricatoday.com/culture/9-countries-with-the-most-handsome-guy-in-africa/">most desirable men</a>. Perhaps by physique and a few other pointers.</p>
  350. <p>Before we get into the African countries whose men are so much desired, let’s understand the physiological science behind these findings.</p>
  351. <h2>What Makes a Man Handsome?</h2>
  352. <p>Attraction is highly influenced by our tastes and beliefs today just as yester years. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130383/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research indicates</a> that males with symmetrical faces are likely to be viewed as more handsome than those with asymmetrical faces. This is despite the fact that it is impossible to absolutely measure what individuals find attractive. Among the characteristics that distinguish a symmetrical face are prominent cheekbones and well-defined jawlines.</p>
  353. <p>Men also appear more attractive because of their height as well. Taller guys are thought to possess greater self-assurance. Furthermore, males who have muscular bodies are more attractive to women because they represent strength. Men&#8217;s physical attributes aid in making a good initial impression, but over time, women are drawn to men&#8217;s personalities. Personality traits can sometimes compensate for a lack of physical attributes. Generally speaking, women prefer self-assured men with a vision and are family Keepers.</p>
  354. <h2>Which Countries Have the Most Handsome Men in Africa 2024?</h2>
  355. <p>These are the top 10 African countries with the most desirable men in 2024 in ascending order.</p>

  414. <li>Onions: Finely chopped onions form the base of the stew, caramelizing for sweetness and complexity.</li>
  415. <li>Tomatoes: Crushed tomatoes or tomato paste provide tanginess and balance the spice of the berbere.</li>
  416. <li>Garlic &amp; Ginger: These aromatics add depth and earthiness to the stew.</li>
