Question: What areas are NOT safe to visit in Africa right now?
I would like to visit Africa, but I hear so much about conflict that is currently going on that I am hesitant. Which countries are NOT safe right now? Are there any sites that can help me with this?

Thanks.

There are 50 continental countries in Africa. A list of unsafe countries would take a long time to compile.

It would be better to search for the safest countries in Africa.

The US State department has a website that summarized the situation in each country. It generally exaggerates the danger, but it also does give you a relative idea, if you compare countries to each other.

I’m in Algeria right now. I don’t feel unsafe, but a bus was blown up near my hotel two weeks ago. If that sort of thing scares you, then you should cross Algeria off your list.

A short list of safe countries that are common tourist destinations(there are many more safe countries, but not common tourist spots): Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon, South Africa, Tanzania.
