Africa is big. Really big. With over 50 countries, it's important to keep distances in mind and realize you can't do it all in a 10-day vacation
In the Southern region of Africa, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, and Mozambique offer good flight and transfer routes that can be incorporated into a trip. Traveling to the Seychelles or Madagascar will require more time but direct flights depart from South Africa.
