Registration of trademarks through the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO) is expanding. Currently you can protect your trademark in Africa through ARIPO for 13 countries which are Botswana, Cape Verde, Kingdom of Eswatini, The Gambia, Kingdom of Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Sao Tome and Principe, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
The good thing is that the registration of a trademark through ARIPO has the same status as the registration of the respective country. There is no need to apply for registration in ARIPO member states where registration has already been done.
