Is Sudan a safe place to visit?

One of the things to know before traveling to Sudan is the safety of this country. The tourist part of Sudan is one of the safest places in Africa, with one of the lowest crime rates in the world. However, tribal conflicts exist in Darfur province (west) and near the South Sudan border. This violence is located far away from tourist routes, and even if you were to get close enough, the violence would never target foreigners. Although Darfur remains in conflict, the rest of Sudan is peaceful and safe to visit. The no-go zone is located quite far from the most popular tourist attractions. In fact, traveling in Sudan is a breeze, with no tourist touts or haggling to contend with. However, be aware of the regular demonstrations in Khartoum.

People who have visited Sudan say it is one of the safest countries in Africa, and Sudan is home to some of the world's warmest and most hospitable people.
