Top Safest African Countries to Visit: Botswana, Cote D'Ivoire, Namibia?

Africa is a continent of wonder. But with the question of safety, it is easy for people to set aside the beauty of visiting the lands. Contrary to belief, Africa is not entirely dangerous, it just depends on which part you decide to go to. There are places that are categorized as unlikely to receive people well but there are also places that are viewed as safe for everyone to discover.

Taking that into consideration, AnswersAfrica has listed down 10 of the safest places to visit in Africa. We'll be listing down 5 of those which are deemed safe for tourists, travelers and the locals alike.

  1. Botswana – Based on AnswersAfrica, Botswana is definitely one of the safest in the continent and is viewed as such by the public. It is known for the kindness of the locals and also for its stable growth and development which is seen in the country's governance and infrastructures. Just a few of the many places to visit here are Okavango Delta, which is one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites, Gaborone, a center for nightlife, shopping, golf and gambling, and Maun, which is a site for campers.
  2. Namibia – Namibia was a country that's deemed dangerous before but was transformed into 'a haven of peace', according to AnswersAfrica, all thanks to the proper governance of the people in authority. Namibia is a neighboring country of Botswana. Places to visit here are Etosha National Park, Windhoek and many more.
  3. Seychelles – What makes this country special is their great government-people relationship. This has kept the peace in the land for a long time. This mark of great governance can be seen in the way people perceive the country, as it is not often to be related to bad news or stories. Seychelles' beaches like Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue are sure to captivate your heart with its beauty.
  4. Cote D'Ivoire – Despite being surrounded by countries clouded by conflict, Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) is known as one of the safest countries in the continent, beside being known as the largest cocoa beans producer in the world. The growth of the arts in Abidjan, and other destinations such as Yamoussoukro, and Tai National Park will convince you of the good experience you will get once you visit this country.
  5. Tanzania – The personal belief of the locals here is what makes this country safe and harmless. Based on AnswerAfrica, the "Ujamaa" mentality, which means "Communism" has kept the safety of the lands. This mentality of helping one another and caring for one's neighbor is the best factor that will convince you to feel safe in this country. The ever popular Serenggeti National Park is found in Tanzania, along with other spots like Unguja beaches, and Lake Manyara National Park.

Taking precaution in traveling is a given, regardless of the place you're about to visit. Africa has so much more to offer, and given the right knowledge of the continent, we will find that wandering through it will be a fun and educational experience.
