There were huge riches avaliable in African countries. There were many Natural Resources avaliable there that couldn't be found in Europe, eg. spices, slaves, cheap labour, fabrics, foods, diamonds and gems, specimen plants, dyes, golds and metals, etc. These were worth a huge lot on the European market, and cost little to take from Africa.

The reason that the Europeans wanted to claim and control land throughout the world were economic ones. In the new lands of the Americas and Africa, the Europeans were looking for gold, raw materials, and land possessions as a way to compete with one another.
