Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Airalo does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for African destinations. Every African plan on Airalo has a fixed data quota, such as 5GB, 10GB, or 20GB, tied to a specific validity period.

Travelers who need more data can choose from the larger fixed‑cap plans. For instance, the Discover 20GB plan gives 20GB of data for 365 days at $66.00 USD, while the Discover 10GB plan offers 10GB for 180 days at $57.00 USD. These larger plans may be more economical for heavy data users, but none of them are unlimited.

Airalo does not provide eSIM plans with a phone number or SMS capability for Africa. The provider only offers data‑only eSIMs for that region. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for voice and messaging needs.

Airalo offers multiple eSIM plans that serve Africa. The Discover and Discover+ plans cover Algeria, Botswana, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Gambia, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Réunion, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia, Tanzania, Uganda, Morocco, and Ivory Coast. The Hello Africa plan expands coverage to include Burkina Faso, Benin, Central African Republic, Cape Verde, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea‑Bissau, Mauritania, Malawi, Rwanda, Sudan, Eswatini (Swaziland), Chad, Togo, Zambia, in addition to all the countries listed for Discover. All of these countries are on the approved list for Airalo’s African eSIM coverage.
