Living or travelling to Africa can be a challenge especially in the security aspect. But nevertheless there are still some countries that are safe to live in or explore.
Here are the list of the safest countries in Africa;
1. BOTSWANA
Botswana was once a British Colony but since it got independent and became their own nation, Botswana got the steadiest democracy in Africa which makes the place an ideal destination for any kind of traveler.
Exploring the country is safe and easy. Actually, you wouldn’t have a problem getting around here as almost everyone speaks English. During your stay don’t forget to try a “mokoro” ride in order to have a unique canoeing experience!
Another incredible thing to do here is to watch the everyday life of the zebras, elephants, and hippos in their natural habitats!
2. NAMIBIA
Next to Botswana, this is another safe destination for solo travelers due to its good governance. Namibia will not fail to offer you an adventure of a lifetime.
When visiting the country, don’t forget to check out Etosha National Park where you can see 114 families of mammals and over 300 species of birds!
Hire a truck that will make you have closer wildlife encounters.
3. ETHIOPIA
This country is getting popular for its boosting tourism. But unfortunately, not a lot of people are aware of how beautiful and safe the country is.
Violence in Ethiopia is almost non-existent,friendly people – you may still expect some predictable problem and scams along the way. But this happens almost everywhere in the world, doesn’t it?
4. MALAWI
For more than a decade now, Malawi wasn’t a good place to travel for foreigners, but because of the new government and economic boom, this country is now one of the best African countries to visit.
Most tourist go to the rural area of the country as getting along with and getting to know the local Malawian can be a nice experience.
5. SEYCHELLES
Seychelles is a gem in Africa. The country is known for her beautiful beaches and good appearance on TV and internet and it has beautiful and peaceful places to go like Petite Anse and Mahe where you are able to experience an easy-going lifestyle. Seychelles has turned many of its small islands to national parks. This is the way of their government to preserve the picturesque beauty of the country while allowing travelers to see it for themselves!
6. MOZAMBIQUE
If you are living or visiting Africa in hope to spend some time laying down on white sandy beaches, enjoying hammocks, getting shades under the palm trees, sipping fresh coconut juice, and just enjoying the #beachlife, then Mozambique is for you.You should not expect to ride jet skis,
This is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. You can, however, enjoy discovering underwater as the country has rich marine life, so make sure to pack your goggles and snorkel!
7. KENYA
Kenya has always been in the spotlight for the last decades, mainly due to bad news caused by terrorism and natural disasters. But now, with new and improved security – normally done with a genuine smile – traveling to this place as a tourist is safer than ever.
Just like any other country, it is important to look after your valuables as petty crime is still common.. While in the country, you will feel overwhelmed with the kindness Kenyans will offer you during your stay.
8. RWANDA
Rwanda could have topped this list due to its very low terrorism and crime rates.
This country had a rough and bad history but eventually, the country thrived into one of the amazing sights in the entire continent of Africa. Rwanda also prides itself for having one of the biggest tropical forests in Africa which you can check out for days.
9. MADAGASCAR
Madagascar is known for its wildlife, thanks to the animated movie of the same name. The animals in the movie including the cute but wild lemurs are seen here.
In general, it’s a safe country in Africa to visit due to the policies and good governance.
10. MOROCCO
It is not very likely for you to experience real physical assault when traveling to Morocco, but like other places in the world it is important to stay vigilant against harassment and petty crime.
Morocco is a country of contrasts – from the bust Djemaa el-Fna Square to the High Atlas Mountains deserts, and the friendly Berber people, the safety it offers is not the only reason why travelers must visit this country.
