Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Africa

Airalo does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for Africa. Travelers can choose from fixed‑data options such as the Discover 20 GB plan, which is valid for 365 days and costs $66.00 USD, or the Discover 10 GB plan, available for 180 days at $57.00 USD. These plans cover many African countries, including Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and others. Selecting a fixed‑data plan can be more cost effective unless a user requires very high data volumes.

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.
