Cape cobra
Meet just one of the most dangerous species of cobra that can be found in all of Africa. Why is it so darn dangerous? It has ridiculously potent venom and this snake is usually found around and-or in houses. The mortality rate is crazy high and it can take from an hour (in severe cases) to ten hours (or more) and leads to respiratory failure, due to the onset of paralysis, but luckily there is an antivenom.

Gaboon viper
The Gaboon viper can be found in the rainforests and savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. Just like all vipers, it is venomous but this species is the world’s heaviest viperid plus (!), it has the longest fangs. That can grow up to 2 inches in length (5 cm). Gosh, if things couldn’t get worse, but oh they can, this snake also has highest venom yield of any snake.
