Sanlam last year disclosed it was exploring "strategic alternatives" with Allianz.
The group will operate in 29 countries and have an equity value of R33bn, or around €2bn, the companies said.
It will create "the largest Pan-African non-banking financial services entity on the continent," they said.
Allianz makes a small portion of its overall revenue in Africa but has been looking to expand.
