Africa?

[PlatinumGuy]

Would like explore a little when I can...

Where are there Community centers with Restaurants/Shabbos meals? Any interesting Jewish sites?

Not looking for Ethiopia/South Africa.

TIA

I think Livingston Zambia used to have a Jewish community. Not sure what's there now.

There's a Jewish community in Kinshasa, Congo and in Abuja, Nigeria, you can get some info from here, Congo is the bigger community, they have a small yeshiva and a daily minyan, the Chabad Rabbi to congo also travels to the other 13 countries of central Africa and has connections with them too.
Or you can ask mendoul about nigeria

Yup 

Or a large security detail.

Yup, he had crazy stories there, lots of armed security.
A few years ago 1 of the bochrim that went to Namibia for pesach was put in jail for some stupid reason, it took the Rabbi 1 call to the prime minister/president of Namibia to get him out.

I was on shlichus there a few years ago for RH/YK and there was an Israeli chap wanted by the FBI and we got a call from Leviav to try and have him released. I guess when the FBI wants a man behind bars he stays there(although today he is out free and lives like a king in Windhoek).

Shul looks pretty. Anyone have a freakin' clue what "Maputo style davening" is?

ETA: 'This is a very liberal community, according to Nethanel “we all sat together in a circle, sang songs and read from a Siddur that the community of Maputo had made themselves"'

Doesn't seem to have any activity there in over 2 years. When I was in Africa last I heard the community there is very scattered and nothing "real" is around but I know bochurim still go there on mercaz shlichus. They have some pretty sweet beaches(if you can drive to them with the condition of the roads there).
