Starlink is currently not available in several African countries, including South Africa, Ethiopia, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Algeria.

However, Starlink has pending applications in many African nations and is set to launch services in 2025 for countries such as Senegal, Mauritius, Guinea, Mali, Chad, Cameroon, Togo, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Uganda, Tanzania, Angola, and Namibia.

To enhance its service, Starlink plans to launch more satellites, which will significantly increase available bandwidth.

Currently, Starlink's satellite broadband service is profitable in five African countries: Nigeria, Kenya, Madagascar, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Sales in major urban areas of the countries where Starlink operates have been paused due to overwhelming user demand.

In a recent statement, Starlink reiterated its commitment to expanding coverage by launching hundreds of satellites and developing a voice, data, and IoT constellation by 2025.
