To produce this ranking of the 10 Safest Countries in Africa to Visit, the US Department of State, the UK Government, and the Government of Canada all issued travel advisories, as well as advice from travel safety experts.
It’s best to speak with a professional travel advisor for more localized, up-to-date information and expert travel advice before deciding where to go in Africa and when.
5. Tanzania
Tanzania, ranked #58 on the Global Peace Index, is one of the ten safest African countries to visit in 2022. It is also one of the most popular safari sites in Africa, with a strong tourism industry.
Tanzania is the safest country in East Africa to go on safari, according to the 2021 Global Peace Index and travel advice.
Tanzania is generally safe, according to Lonely Planet, and “although solo travelers, particularly solo women travelers, may be a slight curiosity in rural areas, there are no particular issues with traveling solo in Tanzania.” “Tanzania is generally safe to visit,” according to Travel Safe Abroad, “although caution is advised in tourist areas such as Arusha, Stone Town (Zanzibar), and Dar es Salaam.”
4. The Gambia
The Gambia ranks 53rd on the Global Peace Index, making it Africa’s fourth most peaceful country. The Gambia is a safe country to visit. The Gambia is Africa’s tiniest country, and most visitors find it to be a pleasant experience.
According to the UK government, “most journeys to this African country are trouble-free,” but “solo travelers are at heightened risk due to the lack of local support in an emergency.” The US Department of State urges tourists to take additional caution in “The Gambia’s southern border area near to Senegal’s Casamance region” due to the possibility of landmines.
3. Botswana
Botswana is the third safest country in Africa to visit, according to the Global Peace Index Report for 2021. Botswana is placed #41 in the report, out of a total of 23 countries. According to Travel Nomads, Botswana is also one of the safest countries in Africa.
You know a place is safe when the Canadian government suggests conventional security precautions, like it does in Botswana!
According to travel safety specialists (Travel Safe – Abroad), Botswana is “probably the safest country in Africa.” According to the UK government, minor and major crime is on the rise in urban areas such as Gaborone and Francistown, despite the fact that tourists are rarely targeted.
2. Ghana
Ghana is Africa’s second-most peaceful country, making it one of the safest places to visit in the continent. Ghana is known as “Africa for Beginners” because it is quite pleasant and safe for first-time visitors to Africa. Ghanaians are known for their friendliness and helpfulness, as well as for being relaxed and operating on “African time.”
1. Mauritius
Mauritius is the safest place to visit in Africa, according to the 2021 Global Peace Index. In fact, this tranquil African country outperforms Spain (31) Italy (32) and the United Kingdom (33) in terms of peace (33).
Mauritius is not a budget African vacation location or an African safari destination, hence we don’t offer any tours there at African Budget Safaris. The island, however, is home to a diverse range of avian and marine species, whales, dolphins, and Mauritian kestrels, as well as gigantic tortoises.
