The 10 Most Dangerous Places To Explore In The Whole World

2. Somalia

A land of breathtaking waterfalls, wildlife, and the longest coastline in all of Africa, not to mention a rich cultural history, Somalia, located in the horn of Africa, has a lot to offer travelers. However, since the outbreak of civil war in 1991, the unstable country has had a dearth of vacationers. In fact, in 2004, it was reported that not a single tourist had visited Somalia in fourteen years. The industry has picked up a little since 2011, but still, due to rampant terrorist attacks and general unrest, visitors are advised to hire around-the-clock guards while in-country.

After more than two decades of civil war, the UN estimates that 1.5 million Somalis are displaced within the country, and more than 100,000 of them have fled to Mogadishu in the last months due to famine and drought.
