Unofficial Netflix online Global Search (uNoGS) ranks South Africa 173 out of 245 territories based on the number of titles available in our Netflix library.

With 830 titles, Netflix in South Africa is tied with Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, and Sao Tome and Principe.

South Africa outranks a number of other African countries, including Angola, Congo Republic, and Tanzania – which we beat by a single title.

Kenya, Liberia, Namibia, Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe have two fewer titles than South Africa in their Netflix catalogues.

We are also outranked by a number of African countries, though, including Côte d’Ivoire, Malawi, Mali, and DR Congo. Island nations the Seychelles and Mauritius also have more Netflix titles than South Africa.

A summary of where South Africa fits in the uNoGS ranking is provided in the table below.
