I've listed the major airports that visitors are most likely to use when arriving in Africa. Information includes location of the airport (from the main town or city center); name of the airport; airport code (so you can research your ticket online); and how to get to and from the airport.
I have not included prices of taxi or bus rides from the airport to the town center because the rates fluctuate daily. I usually try and find a passenger on my flight that is local and ask them what the going rate is before landing. Always agree on a taxi fare before you start your journey.
