HAZARDOUS PLACES TO VISIT

LEBANON

A rapidly deteriorating security situation along with a high level of

terrorist activity and bombings makes travel to Lebanon

particularly unadvisable.

LIBYA

With a recent decent into lawlessness, armed conflict between various

factions is a daily reality. The official stance of most western governments

is to not go. If you have already gone, well…good luck.

NIGERIA

With the exception of Lagos and Calabar, you would do well to avoid most

of Nigeria, especially the north. Terrorism and kidnapping are common

and the security situation is very unstable. Non-essential travel is not

recommended.

ERITREA

As a result of ongoing tensions between Eritrea and its neighbours

the political and military situation is very unstable and could break

down at any moment.

CHAD

Increased terrorist activity by Boko Haram has caused numerous

governments to advice against non-essential travel.

NORTH KOREA

We probably don’t need to explain why it might be a bad idea to visit

this place. Keep in mind that North Korea has detained foreigners even

with valid documents on a seemingly random basis. It has also been

known to detain foreigners for actions and “violations”

committed outside of North Korea.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

A deteriorating security situation has led most western nations to issue

travel warnings to their citizens. Basically this means that if you

do actually go, you’re on your own.

SOUTH SUDAN

Due to a high level of armed conflict and violent crime, it may be best

to leave this newly forged country to cool for a while.
