It’s not unusual to get confused with airline baggage size restrictions, especially when you are traveling internationally. There are too many airlines throughout the world, and each of them produced different rules for check-in and carry-on baggage size and weight.

The most important thing is the suitcase size, and then comes the total weight of the luggage; if you fail to follow the luggage rule, the airline authority will charge you high additional fees. So, it’s crucial to have a clear idea about the luggage rules of airlines. If you can manage the weight and size of your luggage, you don’t have to pay some extra bucks during check-in to the flight.

In this article, I’m introducing country-wise details of the airline baggage size restrictions in the African continent (only major African airlines).

Why do you need information about airline baggage size restrictions in Africa?

Africa is one of the greatest attractions for tourists due to the versatile landscapes of this continent. The mainland is surrounded by three oceans, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Indian ocean. In the middle of the mainland, you’ll get a deep forest for a wildlife safari, the largest desert for adventure, beautiful African beaches, scenic mountains, ancient pyramids of Egypt, and many more. However, you can explore these amazing natural beauty and historical monuments, at relatively lower expenses compared to other continents.

In addition to the tourist attractions, few African countries are rich in natural resources and thus great places for business.

The involvement of African countries in various sports is another reason to visit Africa. South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Namibia are popular for Cricket, while Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory coast are some well-known countries for football. A huge number of sportspersons and supporters visited Africa when South Africa arranged FIFA world cup in the year 2010, and the ICC cricket world cup in 2003.

Other sports like rugby, hockey, etc. are also popular in Africa. So, sportspersons, sports authorities, supporters who visit Africa need information about airline baggage size restrictions of their destination.

So, let’s explore country-wise airlines’ luggage rule in Africa.
