Most countries in North Africa are predominantly Muslim and speak Arabic as a first language, so enrolling in a TEFL program in this region is a great opportunity to experience a distinct side of the continent while learning a highly valuable second language yourself. Egypt, Morocco, and Algeria, for example, are all popular destinations where you might enroll in a TEFL program in North Africa, with the opportunity to continue on teaching afterward.

South of the Saharan Desert, there are thousands more indigenous languages spoken within the African landscape, the most common of which include Swahili, Oromo, Hausa, and Yoruba.

After the training within any of these countries, you will often have the option between teaching in an urban or rural setting as well!
