The most visited cities in Africa are:

1. LAGOS
Located in Nigeria, West Africa is a popular city called Lagos. It is often regarded as the largest city in the country. It is known for its beach resorts, cultural artefacts, concerts and public events. Lagos also has some pretty great hotels.

2. ABUJA
Also located in the aforementioned West African county is Abuja. Nigeria's capital city is home to highly rated hotels, cool restaurants, tourist spots like the Jabi Lake and several parks.

3. NAIROBI
This is the capital and the largest city of Kenya. It has a large game reserve called Nairobi National Park and a well-regarded elephant orphanage operated by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Other top sights include the Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Centre.

4. MOMBASA
This is a seaport city, also located in Kenya. It is often regarded as the country's main tourist destination. It offers diverse marine life, rich culture and world-class hotels.

5. ACCRA
Accra's capital has a lot of wildlife, secluded beaches, incredible museums and rainforests.

1/2 Lagos is noted as the fastest growing economy in Africa, but living condition in the city is below acceptable standard.
Lagos in Nigeria is the most visited city in Africa in 2018.

Lagos and Abuja are not among the top 5 most visited cities in Africa. Am not sure of top 10 even.

According to the MasterCard's Global Destination Cities Index; based on travel spend and visitor volume, including the number of international overnight visitors. 

The top African cities were ranked as follows:

1. Johannesburg: 4.5 million visitors

2. Cape town: 1.52 million visitors

3. Lagos: 1.33 million visitors

4. Casablanca: 1 million visitors

5. Accra: 0.8 million visitors

Lagos inclusion in the list is due to the weekly international visitors to the Synagogue Church of all Nations at Ikotun. Nothing is enticing about Lagos to make it a tourist destination.
