Did you know that Africa is four times the size of the USA? It is larger than the USA, Europe, China, India, Argentina and New Zealand combined. It is unfortunate that the media portrays all of Africa to be unsafe when it is only certain parts of Africa which is. The unsafe areas are within some Northern and Central Africa. These may include Libya, Sudan, Tunisia, Republic of Congo, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo and Gabon.

Southern Africa is by far the most peaceful, democratic, and economically stable part of the continent, and is increasingly considered to be one of the safest destinations in the world for Western travelers by virtue of the region’s geographic disruption from global “hotspots”.
