Not much further ahead from Seychelles in HDI Rankings is the island-nation of Mauritius which tops list of the 11 most livable countries in Africa. The island-country off the Indian Ocean that boasts of a fast-growing tourism, agriculture, finance, and textile industries is one of the most competitive economies in Africa.  Though its GNI is relatively lower than that of Seychelles, Mauritius narrowly beats the former due to a higher life expectancy at birth rate of 74.4 years and longer years of education at 15.6 years.
