Issue 11 | ...Celebrating the world’s richest continent | http://www.nomadafricamag.com | 15visitors go to see “true” Africa with the
possibility to see wild elephants and go-
rillas. CAR is rather underdeveloped,
making flying the only viable option in
most circumstances. This means that the
country is often quite expensive to visit
and this could explain the low visitor
numbers.
Sierra Leone
- Average International visitors per
annum – 81,
A country with real tourist potential,
Sierra Leone has had an incredibly tough
few years fighting the Ebola crisis, which
has almost decimated the already low In-
ternational visitor numbers.
With some of the best beaches in the
world, I’m certain it won’t be long before
tourists begin to return. However, it’ll
need some incredible marketing to en-
courage visitors. One of the most popular
places to visit is Banana Islands, a true
depiction of tropical paradise.Libya
Average International visitors per annum- 93,000 *UN Data
It’s no huge surprise that Libya has very
few tourists, ever since Western Govern-
ments ousted Gaddafi, the country has
been on a total spiral out of control with
jihadist’s taking control and setting up
splinter groups. It’s an incredibly sad sit-
uation for one of the most promising
countries that several years ago had con-
sidered opening up for Mediterranean
cruises.
Once Libya is back on its feet, hopefully
there’ll be some historic sites left to see.
The most famous is Leptis Magna, a
prominent city of the Roman Empire that
is still mostly intact. So, unless this situa-
tion changes, I know this is something I
want to see when I visit.Sierra LeoneCentral African Republic Comoros-Islands Mauritania
