Where is the safest place to go on a safari?

Botswana is considered to be one of the safest places in Africa to visit. The most tourist activity is generally around Maun and Kasane which are gateways to major big game parks such as Chobe, Moremi, Okavango Delta, Central Kalahari, and Nxai Pan.



Botswana and Namibia are consistently ranked as the safest countries for a safari in Africa. Botswana is highly regarded for its political stability, low crime rates, and "high-value, low-impact" tourism model, which prevents the overcrowding seen in other regions. Its Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park offer incredibly secure, high-end environments. Namibia is equally safe, offering a vast, sparsely populated landscape where the main "dangers" are the environment rather than crime. Rwanda is also considered exceptionally safe and clean for those specifically seeking mountain gorilla trekking. While Tanzania and Kenya are world-famous and generally safe within the confines of national parks like the Serengeti or Masai Mara, travelers are often advised to exercise more caution in major cities like Nairobi or Dar es Salaam compared to the peaceful rural regions of Botswana.
