AloOui / Africa travel
Match your own daily use to both a data allowance and a validity period.

Estimate your mobile use, then choose a package
Maps, messages and bookings between Wi-Fi connections can require much less data than video calls, photo uploads and laptop sharing. Check your phone’s recent mobile-data history for a comparable period, then adjust for travel. Combined Wi-Fi and mobile usage is not the same as the traffic an eSIM must carry.
A Morocco city break, Kenya–Tanzania safari and a month of work in Lagos or Cape Town are different scenarios. The examples here are planning calculations, not measured traveller averages or guaranteed requirements.
Illustrative totals for three trip lengths
At an assumed 0.25GB/day plus a 20% buffer, plan 2.1GB for seven days, 4.2GB for fourteen days or 9GB for thirty days.
At 0.75GB/day plus that buffer, the totals are 6.3GB, 12.6GB and 27GB. At 2GB/day, they become 16.8GB, 33.6GB and 72GB.
The formula is daily use × travel days × 1.2. The buffer is illustrative. These quantities are calculated needs, not exact package sizes sold. Select a currently available allowance with suitable validity.
Seven days: a weekly expiry is not a daily refill
A fixed 1GB/7-day package provides one gigabyte for the whole period, not one per day. It falls below the light illustrative 2.1GB weekly estimate. Validity matching the holiday does not prove the allowance fits.
Download maps, pickup details, accommodation addresses and bookings before departure. Keep app updates, photo backups and large files on Wi-Fi where practical. Count arrival and departure use as well as sightseeing days. Frequent uploads away from Wi-Fi call for a higher estimate than occasional navigation and messages.
Fourteen days: flexible pools or daily limits?
A fixed pool allows uneven use, while daily high-speed limits apply separately each day. Under the 0.75GB/day example, fourteen days plus the buffer needs 12.6GB.
Lite provides 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 512 kbps. Essential provides 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 1.25 Mbps. Plus provides 2GB/day high-speed, then up to 2 Mbps. High-speed allowances refresh daily; unused daily data should not be assumed to roll over. Unlimited does not mean unrestricted full-speed data.
Duration choices vary. Africa regional daily options stop at 15 days. Kenya and Tanzania country Essential and Plus also stop at 15, while Lite lists 30. Do not copy another country’s daily-duration choices into the selected product.
Thirty days: check the regional ceiling
Africa eSIM offers fixed allowances up to 20GB/30 days. The illustrative 27GB and 72GB monthly scenarios exceed that. Do not assume regional 50GB or 100GB choices exist because many country products offer them.
Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia and Nigeria list daily Lite, Essential and Plus up to 30 days. Ghana and Mauritius list Lite and Essential up to 30 days, but Plus only up to 15. Kenya and Tanzania list Lite up to 30 days with Essential and Plus only up to 15. Coverage must still fit any alternative purchase.
Longer validity and hotspot traffic
Africa Long Trip has one fixed 20GB/60-day package. Spread evenly, that is about 0.33GB/day, but there is no daily refill. It is one shared pool until exhausted or expired, and it excludes Ghana. No 90- or 180-day option is selectable on that listing.
For sharing, include every connected device. Updates, cloud files and video meetings can consume more than phone navigation. Check exact-package hotspot terms; traffic uses the same allowance and speed limits. Data quantity cannot guarantee work performance at a remote lodge.
Review the route and monitor actual use
Confirm every destination first, including any stop outside the twelve-country list. Select enough time from first supported connection to final use and check current selector prices. These products are data only without a new number, ordinary calls or SMS.
Install over stable Wi-Fi on an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked device. Follow activation and roaming instructions; a covered stopover can start validity. Check real usage after the first few days. Borders do not refill fixed data, disabling the line does not pause expiry, and poor signal does not stop the clock.
