Africa, with a population of more than 1.1 billion people and an area of 30 million square kilometers, ranks second among other continents in terms of population and size in the world.
The "Black Continent" has become home to 3 thousand ethnic groups who speak more than 2 thousand languages and dialects. If you are not thinking of living in a conservative Europe or America, then Africa will be your best place. Many international organizations work here, including the Red Cross and the UN, so many choose Africa for temporary work. Such people are called expats.
Of course, for expats choosing a place to work, safety comes first. The media has made us a bad impression of Africa with a high crime rate and ongoing wars. To some extent, this is true, but there are many African states that live in peace and prosper.
Taking into account factors such as internal conflicts, terror, crime rates and mortality, we have compiled a list of the 10 safest countries in Africa.
10
Lesotho
Lesotho is one of the few countries in which there has been no crisis for a long time and everything is calm. Lesotho has a monarchical system of government, and the constitution provides a self-governing judiciary. There is something to see, but the main feature, as in many other African countries, is nature and exotic animals.

Tanzania
In Tanzania, you can safely walk wherever you want, without fear that you will be killed or kidnapped. People here care about tourists very much and also welcome expats. They are called “ujamaa” here, which means “communism” or “joint work” in Swahili.
