Herzl was ready to accept other locations. It was Israel's pull as 'The Promised Land' that made it politically exploitable.
But I think it's unfair to blame it on Herzl. This guy felt the future of Jews was not in assimilation (which was successfully practised at the time in France) but in a separate state (at the time the term Apartheid didn't mean much).
North Africa was an option at one time.
