How safe is it to travel in Africa?
Most of the Southern African countries that our treks operate in (with the exception of Zimbabwe) have enjoyed peaceful times with little civil unrest over the past few years. However with large scale poverty there are always the problems of theft should belongings be left unattended or unlocked. You should therefore take care to keep items of value such as passports and cash on you at all times and try avoid displaying expensive goods such as cameras in public, rather have them packed away in your bags unless you’re using them. In general it’s advised not to walk around at night in major cities and seek advice at the local hotels when venturing out on your own explorations. All our treks operate with qualified local guides who do their best to ensure your safety and peace of mind whilst travelling with us in Africa.
