In africa how did they travel from place toe plac?

It really depends on what era u r refering to, transportation in general and not just in africa has changed during the past century. It has been a little slower of course in africa but u name it, it is there. Africa is a huge continent with many countries, terrains and people. U also need to be more specific about which part in africa in order for us to properly answer your question.

I dont think travelling by car is suitable..you needed to pass thru Africa's sun-baked savannas, emerald forests and primordial deserts.It will be an exhilarating, otherworldly experience.
So what is more suitable is Air travel,but it also can be perilous, Africa's air safety record is among the worst in the world.
Africans themselves hardly travel place to place in Africa,only rich guys in africa can afford it.Most likely they'll be traveling by air.

well, we use cars, trains, buses, minibuses, taxis, planes, ships, animals (horses, donkeys, mules)..take ur pick!
Africa is a vast continent so u might want to be a little more specific if u want to know how pple in a certain country travel

Your question uses past tense, so I assume you're asking about how things were in a distant past.

It depends on where in Africa ... in Sahara, people would travel on camel back, while in other parts, people would travel by boats up and down rivers and across lakes.

Most other places in Africa, people would simply walk.
If you, for example, read up on how Livingstone made his discoveries, you'd be amazed to notice that he made most of them on foot !
