For Africa take a look at Liquid Telecoms and WIOCC. If your target market
is more specifically west african, look at the ISPs which have major POPs
in Accra and Lagos.

For east africa, Kenya/Tanzania, and those with good connectivity from
Kenya to Djibouti and into the UAE (via Fujairah).

WIOCC is somewhat of an east african specialist.

Why isn't Hurricane in your mix yet? They have great routes, some of

It looks like they have 3 or 4 paths in/out of Africa. I'd use their
looking glass tool to check latency and peering.

For Africa, Kenya and South Africa tend to be typical points for initial
build-outs. Nigeria gets attention too.

You want to look at an operator that spreads across more locations than
that to reach as many African networks as possible. The ones that I know
of have Africa as their primary market, but also have presence in Europe.
