African-themed slots are popular with much of the broad spectrum that makes up online slots players. Many of us dream of a once-in-a lifetime trip to Africa, and as the birthplace of humanity, it’s little wonder that we are drawn to her expansive beauty. From the broad concept theme of simply ‘Africa’ to more nuanced and niche sub-genres, the entire category includes titles built around, among other ideas, Safari, the Big Five, Deserts, Lions, Elephants, Jungles, Exploration and even to an extent Ancient Egypt, although you're best off searching for these under the slot category ‘Ancient Egypt’. Africa slots not only tend to include stunning graphics, which we will look at later, but also haunting sound FX and music as well as a wide range of exciting, usually pretty wild, bonus features.

Graphics in Africa Slots
When games developers create African-themed slots, they have a rich tapestry of iconography at their disposal. And it’s these sublime graphics that make up a large degree of the appeal. Africa itself is home to a variety of enchanting and jaw-dropping landscapes, which are used in the games to make beautiful backdrops worthy of travel brochures. This includes savannahs at sunset, deserts at sunrise, lush dense forest and majestic mountain ranges. With bright oranges, yellows and greens, these games always stand out from the crowd. Symbols are typically made up of Big Game - this includes animals such as elephants, tigers, lions and rhinos as well as giraffes, zebras, hippos and wildebeest.
Wild and Other Bonus Features
The word WILD appears lots in Africa-themed slots - both because of the wild nature of the theme and the fact that wild symbols tend to have a big part to play. In fact, bonus features of all kinds are a big part of these games, as they are typically aimed at players who want to enjoy a thrill. They include Free Spins Rounds, Pick Bonuses, Stacking Wilds, Wheels of Fortune and Gamble Features. If you want to try before you buy and get a feel for these features, it’s great ideas to play Africa slots in free play mode first.

Africa themes slots come into the portfolio of most major games developers. Here’s a quick look at some of the most popular Africa slots available in free play mode at Slots Temple NZ.
Stampede
Stampede by Betsoft has one of the most attractive backdrops of any online slot game. The reels are set in front of a stunning grassland and desert landscape - presumably the Serengeti or Kalahari. The atmospheric music and sound FX transport you directly to your own personal safari, where you will encounter elephants, zebras, cheetahs and giraffes, 1024 ways to win and an exciting Double Up Gamble feature.
Mega Moolah
Unless you’ve played it, you may not have realised that Microgaming’s Mega Moolah, one of the highest ranked online slots of all time, has an African theme. Mega Moolah features some of the most famous animals from the continent, including a lion, giraffe and elephant, but what players really love about this game is the potentially huge progressive jackpot.
Wild Run
Wild Run by Next Gen is another stunner. The backdrop of the desert at sunset with the big game animals as silhouettes makes for a truly enchanting sight. The game itself features 243 ways to win as well as added Wilds. Wild symbols multiply wins by a massive x5. Now that is wild!
