you think i could get taken as an hostage in some lost city in the middle of the Sahara desert ?
Are you the sort of person that can, ideally already has, kill someone with no hesitation whatsoever?
If the answer to that is "no", then you're looking at the wrong continent.

I could not even kill a fly, but I wanna meet authentic people from North Africa in their own village and town.
I imagine myself as the white Messia coming into a small and lost village and black people would come at me like "omg a white is here let's just offer him ourselves"

Foreigners believing they are better than the local population or see themselves in high manner are the one that disappear during their travels.
You should come to Mexico, at least you will get to fuck some cute girls and eat good food before you get dumped in a hole
>>53351689
well, sorry but I DO consider myself superior to those people.
>>53351341
try to keep out of these areas, they are places that either:
(a): have radical islamist groups (Boko Haram mostly)
(b): host arms trade routes or arms dealers to radicals
Even if you go through the light red you will 99.99% be completely fine but stay completely away from dark red; make sure you have atleast some sort of self defense even if its pepper spray
you will more than likely be fine but its good to be prepared
>>53351757
Good luck then, my friend. Hope they find your body in only one place

Senegal ? S.Sudan ?
>>53351285
>not visiting glorious moroccan coast
>>53352115
fuck them, we got already enough marocains here in belgium
>>53352089
South Sudan isn't all that stable, probably better to avoid in general. I haven't really heard of much to do there anyways
Senegal probably wouldn't be much of a problem but I would personally choose a different coastal country unless there is some stuff you specifically want to do there. No real recommendation for different coastal country.
>>53351285
Do you have a death wish?
>>53352266
i won't die you pussy
the heat doesn't scare me
>>53352567
It's not the heat you should be worried about
You should probably avoid that southern algeria zone.
Our millitary will be sent to South Sudan in good time in order to defend Chinese PLA which is protecting oil well or something. I hear there is militia including child soldiers who tries to get back the oil well.

Stay out of:
Western Sahara
East Morocco
South Algeria (really, any part of Aleria not next to the coast
South-east of Tunisia (the rest of the country is fucking gorgeous and welcoming though)
Senegal except Dakar itself
Northern Mali
Every part of Niger not along the river
Burkina Faso should be good to go, though.
>tl;dr you have a death wish and are going to get killed by islamists or kidnapped and enslaved by berbers or raped and killed by ooga boogas or die in the Sahara of thirst when your jeep breaks, gets out of gas or you get lost and you water ends
>>53351285
Are you sure that's safe? The coastal regions are generally safe to visit, but you're going through the fucking desert? The ISIS-sympathizer strongholds? Wouldn't it be better to start in Tunis, go along the coast and end in Senegal?
>>53353155
>Senegal except Dakar itself
Why? It's possibly the most stable country in all of Africa, and actually doing pretty well economically too (by African standards).
>or die in the Sahara of thirst when your jeep breaks, gets out of gas or you get lost and you water ends
If OP is smart, he will also rent a sattelite phone. Not a regular phone, as it obviously has no reach in the desert.
>>53351285
>not going to tunisia, the most based french african country
>>53353982
>tunisia
too dangerous with all the terrorists
>>53354532
>too dangerous with all the terrorists
>But Northern Mali isn't
Wew lad!
>>53353982
Morocco is more beautiful tb.h
>>53351285
Not going to go to Constantine in Algeria? It's supposed to be incredible.
