One package across the region, from Morocco to South Africa. Check the covered list once and buy before you fly — a local SIM in most of these countries means a passport, a shop and a queue.
Every plan below covers the same 33 countries with one shared data allowance.
The allowance is shared across all included countries — it does not reset per country or at borders.
Continue to checkout33 countries on one package. A few of them:
Africa is fifty-four countries and this plan covers a specific list of them. The list on this page is the one that counts — worth reading at the planning stage, because overland routes here cross borders that are a long way from anywhere you could buy a local SIM.
Kenya requires an eTA, Tanzania an e-visa, and most of the others have moved online in the last two years. Apply on the official government site rather than the agency above it in the search results, and check whether a yellow fever certificate is required for your route — it often is when you arrive from a country where it is endemic.
Lodges, hotels and city restaurants take cards. Markets, park gates, tips, taxis and village guesthouses are cash, and some currencies cannot be obtained outside the country at all. Take out more at a time than feels comfortable; ATM fees are fixed rather than proportional.
Urban coverage across the region is often excellent — mobile money means the networks matter more here than in Europe. What is genuinely empty is the space between: the game parks, the desert routes, the mountain passes and the long national roads. Download the whole route before you leave the last city.
Distance is the first. These countries are much bigger than the map suggests and the roads between them are rarely quick. Most multi-country trips here are flights rather than drives, and the regional airlines are worth pricing before you commit to a route.
Season is the second, and it is regional rather than continental. The Sahara and the Maghreb are pleasant from October to April and punishing in summer; East Africa runs on two rainy seasons that move the game viewing around; South Africa has the seasons of the southern hemisphere, so its summer is the northern winter.
The third is that the good parts have no signal, and that is the point. Book, download and confirm while you are in a city, and treat a camp, a park or a desert night as offline by default.
Answers for trips across more than one country.
Open “See covered countries” and search each stop. The list is the authoritative source: if a country is on it, this package works there; if it is not, we point you to another onesim package if one covers it.
No. Validity runs from your first connection in any included country and continues for the plan’s full duration wherever you are on the list.
The package will not connect there. Check whether another onesim package covers that stop, or plan on Wi-Fi for it.
Yes. Your account has one onesim eSIM, and you refill it with any regional package from anywhere in the world — from the website or the app. The new package is added to the eSIM already on your phone; there is nothing to install again.
