Ever wondered who the top female bloggers are in Africa, or which women you should be following online? We did, so we compiled the following list. For us compiling this list was an interesting exercise as we didn’t explicitly know which blogs are authored by women but we went on a mission to find out.
While this list is not the be-all and end-all it does provide some interesting insight into which female blogs you could/should be watching. It’s clear that South African female bloggers dominate the list but I am very pleased to see Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Uganda, and Ethiopia make it on the list.

Caveats
The ranking is taken directly from the top blogs section as ranked by Afrigator’s unique ranking system which takes into consideration page views, unique visits, links from blog posts, and finally links from blogs to formulate an overall rank on Afrigator.
This list is accurate as of Friday 17 October and is subject to change almost immediately. The reason for this is that our ranking system updates every four hours and this will affect overall ranking as well as ranking in each specific country.
