The World's Most Dangerous Destinations for 2007

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I currently live and work in Burundi and cannot agree with the assertion that it is amongst the twelve most dangerous destinations. On the contrary, I have found it to be a welcoming and beautiful place and certainly felt safer than in parts of South Africa, Kenya and London. Obviously, it is necessary to be aware of the security situation regarding the one remaining rebel group but this is the case in several countries not mentioned in this list. Burundi needs visitors to revive its tourism industry and this should be taken into consideration when dispensing advice on how 'dangerous' the country is.
