Top 10 Safest Countries In Africa by amzee(m): 11:10am On May 22, 2015 |
Top 10 Safest Countries in Africa are as follows: 1. Botswana Botswana is undoubtedly one of the countries perceived to be most safe in the continent. This country located in the southern part of Africa has consistently enjoyed good publicity. Positive aspects of the country include a good infrastructure, political stability, stable currency, and much more. In addition, its strong judicial system always makes certain that rights and freedoms are fully protected. 2. Namibia It seems the safety wave is concentrated in the Southern part considering that Namibia neighbors Botswana. The country has indeed come a long way when it comes to matters of safety. A few decades ago, the country was nowhere near the top ten list. However, political will and good governance turned this around thus making it a haven of peace. 3. Seychelles For a long time, Seychelles has always enjoyed peace. Rarely will bad stories be written about the country. There are several reasons that make the African state safe and peaceful. These include; well organized judicial system, strong adherence to human rights and freedom, cordial relationship between the citizens and the government and more. 4. Cote D’Ivoire When Cote Divoire also known as Ivory Coast is mentioned, one thing comes to mind, Cocoa. Besides priding itself in being the largest producer of cocoa beans globally, Ivory Coast boasts of being one of the safest countries in Africa . This always comes as a shock to many people considering it is surrounded by countries that are constantly experiencing instability. 5. Tanzania Tanzania is the only country from the East African region to make it to the list of the top 10 safest countries in Africa. The large country attributes its safeness to the “ujamaa” mentality that is rife in the country. The Swahili term “ujamaa” simply means communism.It is all about caring and showing concern for your neighbour. 6. Malawi Malawi hasn’t always been considered amongst the safe countries in Africa. In fact, more than a decade ago, it was experiencing some social, political as well as economic instability. This was pegged on the failing economy, political wrangles and much more. Fortunately, the economic turnaround improved the countries prospects further making the country quite safe. 7. Ethiopia Ethiopia will always hold a special place in history. Many people came to know of the country due to extreme famine, drought, and poverty. This led to the whole world joining hands to assist the country. Well, three decades later, the country is not only among the top 10 food secure countries in Africa, but also one of the safest. 8. Morocco Morocco is the only country from northern part of Africa to make it to the list of safest countries in the continent. Besides being surrounded by countries well known for rebellions, Morocco has continued to remain peaceful and safe for many years. This is achieved as a result of good governance, well established policies and also effective community policing. 9. Rwanda Rwanda came into the spotlight following the genocide that took place several years. This marked one of the darkest moments not only in Africa’s history, but also the whole world. Slowly, the country continues to heal and move on. Some of the glad tidings that have come from the new Rwanda are peace, improved security and safety. 10. Gambia Although it is not talked about so much, Gambia is actually ranked as one the safest countries not only in West Africa, but also in Africa. The people are generally friendly and quite hospitable, the systems work in the country, and you can walk in the late of the night feeling safe and secure. Like many other regions globally, Africa is also struggling when it comes to safety. This is driven by rising cost of living, shaky economy, poverty and unemployment. Fortunately, the countries featured on the Top 10 Safest Countries in Africa bring a sigh of relief in regard to feeling safe while in africa. The mentioned countries will certainly make a trip to the continent worthwhile. : Source: answersafrica.com/safest-countries-africa.html |

I (alongside other tourists) have never felt safe visiting Piazza Addis or Mercato..........so Ethopia being one of the safest is hard to swallow. I feel Kenya would have made this list if not for the recent and not so recent terror attacks plaguing the country. Ivory Coast hmmmm okay. Zanzibar should be on this list. Seychelles .......Africa's slice of paradise, really deserves it place. Rwanda nke? Even Kigali hotels staff advises caution on personal safety. Abeg they no deserve this space. What of Sao Tome? Cape Verde nko? Senegal? |

I just saw a list of you ten most unsafe countries in Africa and Ethiopia was number 8, now it has jumped to the list of safest countries? who does these surveys, do they even know the countries they are talking about.... and what criteria are they using to judge if a country is safe? is it reported crime? solved crime? terrorism, media freedom? police treatment, unsolved crimes? or does the writter just Google a country, then from what ever they find, they just rank the country from there |

denisfidha: True, that list makes me wonder |
Re: Top 10 Safest Countries In Africa by tswitch: 3:10pm On May 23, 2015 |
denisfidha: Aha! This post totally shows my take that Ethopia's place on the list is undeserving. |
