Is Africa safe for a Sabbatical?

Many parts of Africa are safe to travel and offer incredible sabbatical experiences. Still, safety conditions can vary widely between countries and regions.
As with most destinations, it’s important to stay alert and plan carefully before setting off. Some areas within otherwise safe countries may be less suitable due to political or local security concerns.
Always consult the official travel advice from your local government before planning a sabbatical.
