Where to go

Well if you're really concerned about your safety (as you seemt to be), Argentina is a pretty well developed and safe place as long as you stay out of sketchy neighbourhoods in the big cities. In general with South America, the big cities are more dangerous whereas smaller areas are much less so even if they are poorer. It's the same for much of the world really: small sheltered communities just don't generally want to beat you up and steal your shit.

In terms of Africa I can't speak from experience, but unless you're gay there is a lot of it where you'll be pretty safe. Ethiopia is surprisingly good, South Africa is the obvious choice if you only care about safety, really a lot of the heavily Christian nations are pretty uptight about theft and violence. You might be surrounded by throngs of beggars and get scammed to hell by everyone jacking their prices for you, but from what I hear they generally won't initiate violence.

I was thinking of Sao Paulo, but I was living with people from there and they told me it's a shithole. Are there any safer places in Brazil perhaps?

>but unless you're gay
I am not but why would this be an issue?

>South Africa is the obvious choice if you only care about safety
eh, I don't know about that, a friend of mine was robbed at gunpoint there in a non-sketchy part last month

>Are there any safer places in Brazil perhaps?
Unfortunately not really. As I said before, smaller towns are likely to be more safe, but even then Brazil is really well known for being a dangerous place compared to most of the world. Any major city especially is going to be pretty high in muggings and the like, so not really.

>I am not but why would this be an issue?
Africa in general is pretty damn hostile to gay people: vigilante justice style beatings, imprisonment, etc... I've heard stories of idiots trying to hook up or meet other gay people and getting lured somewhere and beaten and robbed. If you're at all smart you just pretend you aren't gay and nothing happens, but if you make it public people will hate you and possibly report you to the police (it's illegal most places, some death penalty for it).

>eh, I don't know about that, a friend of mine was robbed at gunpoint there in a non-sketchy part last month
Well that sucks, but the crime rate is pretty low. You can get robbed at gunpoint anywhere, he's likely just really unlucky. You'll never get somewhere like Canada or Switzerland in Africa or most of South America.

Chile, Argentina and Uruguay are mostly safe. June is not the best moment to visit though, shitty weather.

I see. Too bad I guess. I'll consider South Africa, any places you would recommend visiting there?
>>1191909
I am assuming it's better to go there in winter?

Countries generally considered "Africa for beginners" are Ghana, Gambia, Namibia, Botswana, South Efrica, Morocco.
The tier below that is Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ethiopia, Senegal. And probably others.
