Safety is always a concern when on holiday. But remember, just because you’re considering a trip to Africa does not mean you take on board the view of the international media who represent all 54 African countries as a single entity comprising of wildlife, war and poverty.
All 54 countries are unique and individual with their own characteristics, each land with its own wonder and beauty.
Remember that the developed world also has safety concerns regards terrorist attacks. So as in any part of the world, no one country can claim to be 100% safe. Therefore, the advice to be given regards any new or unknown destination is to be vigilant and take certain standard security precautions, such as keeping an eye on your wallets, purses, passports and cameras when in crowded areas.
