Africa tends to see less tourism than many other continents around the world, but it has no less to offer visitors. If you’re worried about your safety, just make sure to do your homework and understand what you’re getting yourself into. But generally speaking, many African cities are safe, beautiful places that will really enrich your lives. Here are a few we’d recommend checking out.

Lusaka, Zambia

With the air of a town on the rise, Lusaka is booming right now. A sprawling metropolis with must-see markets, there’s still a sense of space. You’ll probably stay in a large, international hotel with affordable rooms. While you’re there, try visiting the Mingling Bar at the University of Zambia and the Chilenje House.

Marrakesh, Morocco

A heady mix of modern culture and ancient architecture, Marrakesh is full of modern markets as well as mosques and architecture dating back to the Berber period. There’s also a burgeoning art scene, with the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden at the center of it.

Stone Town, Zanzibar

A fascinating location, Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on the island of Zanzibar just off the Tanzanian coast. It’s filled with food vendors, winding alleys, and colorful bazaars just humming with life.
