    Africa Travel Safety Tips

    Share on TwitterShare via email

    Travel in Africa can be one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences you can ever have.  Yet it can be very dangerous if you are not careful.  You could be susceptible to diseases, thieves and dangers from wars.

     

    More than a third of the world’s travel safety warnings originate from Africa.  You should check with the U.S. State Department for travel safety warnings before planning any trip to Africa.

    Africans are honest, hardworking people.  But when you wear flashy jewelry, watches and accessories it will draw the opportunists, con artists and thieves to you.  Also you should secure your money, credit cards and passport in something besides your wallet or purse.  You should also make copies of your passport, credit cards, and airline tickets and leave these at your hotel. This will help you get replacements and will help with insurance purposes. Be careful to watch your pockets and surroundings when in areas with a lot of people, such as a bus or train station, or a bazaar.  And always, always remember that if you are robbed, do not try to be a hero. Surrender your belongings and go to the police.
