African CC
@simlicious mentioned in their African patterns WIP here: “if you know of some cool African themed build/buy CC, let me know.“
Sadly, traditional African themed CC is some of the rarest and hardest content out there (unless it’s Egyptian and Moroccan inspired).
Here’s the few I know about:
SETS
Cliosims is pretty much 1-stop shopping; there’s actually alot in these sets:

The go-to is of course TSR--just go ham in the Search box. The highlights are the Anasa sets by FantasticSims:
And Lulu’s sets:
And ND’s adorable kiddie sets:
And Devirose’s build mode retexture set:
An offshoot from TSR is Abuk0, who has PLENTY of stuff at TSR (X X):
They have tons of geometric-inspired Weebly sets (via the Wayback Machine) that could arguably work, but here are the more on-the-nose ones to definitely get:
Bamboo Forest
Sabana
Vimeno
Shakata
A lot of African designs are very geometric and abstract/organic, with cool shapes/patterns. (Again: Abuk0′s a cool resource.)
LA Living
Sabo
Samoa
Angel has 2 sets, both reuploaded to New-1 thank goodness:

http://sims-new.my1.ru/load/mebel_sims_3/angel/16-1-0-8787
I’m not sure this set was ever backed up on the new Simszoo site, so I’ve reuploaded it (SFS isn’t working for me right now): https://www.mediafire.com/file/8611sbzcvmwvjdo/worldslivingroomffzoo.rar/file
https://simsmarktplatz.blogspot.com/2015/02/s3-wohnzimmer-african-style.html (a LOT of cool stuff here)
https://www.liquidsims.com/sims-3-downloads/n-a-n-us-mao-bedroom-conversions/ (a lot of iconic tribal/tropical Nanu conversions)
Sometimes I have to be pretty fluid with the stuff I use; looking for anything rattan/wicker/lattice, beaded, tiki, tropical, etc. So I strongly recommend using anything like that, too (my Sims 3 Tribal tag tries to pretty much cover all this).

Buffy & ShinoKCR’s Caribbean sets at TSR are also good examples:

FOOD
Fruit & veggie decor’s all over the place, but here’s some rarer finds:
star fruit (& cool bowl): https://www.b-5studio.com/2011/08/wayback-machine.html (popular in the Caribbean, but Africa has star apples that remind me of these, so it’s a win)
