africa is the most slept on /out/ing place. south africa is noob-tier, but also immensely beautiful.ethiopia is criminally underrated. it is an absolutely stunning country with one of the richest histories in the world.
>>2861782Africa isn't slept on. I think everyone agrees it has beautiful /out/. The problem is the people who occupy these places. I've seen trip reports from cool places there, but they all require hiring guides who travel with you carrying AK-47s.
>>2861782No it's not, you're just a fucking retard.
>>2861783/thread
>>2861783I drove around South Africa, Swaziland, and Mozambique solo and didn't feel unsafe and I knew a guy who rode his bike through every country in Africa and he was fine too. Y'all need to stop being little bitches.

>>2861783Having just finished watching Africa Addio I have no choice but to agree, even if that was filmed 60 years ago...
>>2861920Tell me you're afraid without telling me
>>2861930There is no country or island or region in the world where murder does not happen. You choose to let your emotions control your life. You live in fear.
>>2861782Full of people who are desperate for money and see you as a way to get it. Full of insurgent groups. Full of horrible diseases and basically no medical care. Yeah sounds really slept on! I'd love to see it but it's not worth the cost/risk.>>2861939Africa Addio is partly staged. It was intended to be shocking and isn't a fair assessment.This video gives another view on Africa in vintage terms:https://youtu.be/PtG6niRiRXk?si=kVP9HxD45Ni5gOD_>>2861942Being afraid of a brutal violent death for no purpose is a very normal thing and nobody is impressed by your pretending.
>>2861951>Being afraid for no purpose is a very normal thingNo
>>2861954You know repeating only half his sentence with a maymay arrow doesn't change his post on everyone elses screens right?
>>2861906Amazing that this conflicts every trip report I've read. Including my coworkers.
>>2862014they ain't finna responda that
>>2862049Finding and experiencing ancient cultural sites in the context of their natural environment is very /out/
>>2862082Cowering at home is a very spineless and weak thing to do
is no one gonna mention that the two trips talked about in this thread were in the 1960's and africa is objectively way less safe in the grand scheme of things then it was then. Sure there are individual places that are much more developed and safe then in the 60's but the continent has been degrading consistently since they kicked out the dutch
>>2861906>I drove around South Africa and didn't feel unsafeI feel a lot safer in countries that don't need street signs like picrel
>>2861906Thanks anon, I will be looking for the gore video
>>2862092Feel like it's worth pointing out the trip I posted was not intended to be "hey look Africa is super safe guys!" (If you watch the video they talk about sleeping in French forts overnight due to the war in Algeria iirc).I posted it to make a point about Africa Addio being presented as fact when it's largely re-enacted after the fact and was designed specifically to show a biased view point from the start. It would be like walking to Donetsk and saying all of Europe is like that.Like I said, Africa is full of very desperate people who see your white (presumably) skin as a way to get out of that situation. It's not even that they hate you particularly, it's that they see you as a means to an end. Add to that the lack of medical facilities and insurgent groups in most nations in Africa and it's a truly stupid place to visit unless you're with a tour group going to a tourist area.
