well, I have to tell something. I'm from an  Arabian country so, I do know this country very well. it's safe but   there is no freedom when you go there forget about  the freedom ,you won't be able to do whatever you want cause it's conservative country ,, they are strict but in general don't worry about  the safety it's safe, \nvenus

cities are dirty and polluted. it's definetly not safe to visit unless you stay in your hotelroom. the sinai is closed for foreign residents right now cause more bombs to expect.\nthe culture is mainly influenced by the muslim religion. the 3000 mosques shouting 5 times daily don't let you forget that. \nthe country is entire sand and desert. the white desert is beautiful and safe to visit.

I was in Botswana for two weeks in 1992.  I really liked it a lot.  It is quite tragic how much warfare is tearing that continent apart.

Because they are stupid. US and UK government has took all the richness of the country a good example South Africa.

I have seen lots of pictures, articals and clippings about Africa. it is sad to say that almost all of them portray africa as this dry, barren, land, where everyone is sick, and dying. while that may be the case for some locations, there are beautiful places in Africa, such as the Sarangiti, and around lake Victoria. (why did they not name the lake after someone in Africa? white people sometimes don't use their common sence.) If i could, i'd visit africa one of those days. i would like to see mount kilomanjaro, and the Sarangiti.

I have friends who have vacationed there and have had no trouble. I've heard it is an astoundingly beautiful country. I does have its problems like any other country. Would you walk at night in some areas of Washington DC? Hell! And that's the nation's capital. Every country has its own dangerous places. Right in Berlin, where they are celebrating the World Cup, they have designated some "NO GO" zones. If you venture into one of these, you could be lynched just for having skin that isn't the right shade of white.

It was caused by colonialism, back when European countries thought it was ok to take over countries in Africa and exploit them.  It just stuck around the longest in S. Africa.  I'd also say it was caused by ignorance and hatred.

Most of the land of Isreal is as safe as America.  Usually only areas near Palestine are at risk of violence.  It is a beautiful land with beautiful mixed culture.

If you think the U.S. has the world's worst crime rate, wrong! It's South Africa. The country's black majority, who has bore the brunt of over four decades of apartheid, are committing most of the violent crimes there. If you ever plan to travel to South Africa, stay away from the townships (ghettos). Violence is all abound there.

I have heard bits and pieces of the story about the ex president.  I think it is insane that things like this is allowed to go on in other parts of the world.  I live in the US and everything here isn't perfect but our ex president about got in alot of trouble for getting a B.J. from someone besides his wife.  They are things that go on in Africa I really don't understand.  I think they are wrong and will never travel to this part of the world because of lack of people being prosecuted for crime they commit.  I'm not telling you that you should leave, this is something you need to decide for your self.  If you don't fill safe you need to leave.  Safe should be you main concern.  It don't look like you are in a very safe place.

That is why we have to be very careful about who we put in charge here in the States. people say we should be more open like Europe. Well look at the end results. European crimes are getting worse and worse. But we should be striving to be like them. Whatever is happening in Amsterdam is just wrong and not acceptable. We need to have people fighting for the children. Where are they? Probably too busy having abortions or fighting for the rights of trees.

South Africa is a country that is in the perfect climate- mediterranean. It is surrounded by the sea and situated in the best continent, Africa. The nature is preserved, air is fresh. Mountains everywhere, safari's, etc. You can go up Table Mountain, climb the Drakensberg, or just enjoy it at Clifton beach. :) SA is a great place. The ethnic groups are also well balanced

Many countries are a threat to world peace...depends upon where you live and your opinions of the matter.

The Peace Corps does not station volunteers in countries or areas that are unsafe.  In all honesty, most of the volunteers are safer than people living in America!  \n\nIn Tanzania, until recently they restricted people from even travelling near the Western border, despite the fact that it was a good tourist area.  This was due to the Rwandan refugees coming from the distance.  \n\nDo not worry about safety.  In the case of anything unsafe, they will evacuate all volunteers.  Part of the training includes redundant training in where the safe house in each region is, and how to go from there to the evacuation point.  \n\nIf you truly have worries, ask the Peace Corps organization itself.  Some volunteers thought they were actually *too* careful -- remember, this is an organization that only accepts US citizens, who have made an art of suing if anything goes wrong.
