Sub-Saharan Africa What About Crime and Weather ? These are always two areas of great concern. Read on: Crime is a worldwide problem, particularly in urban populated areas. Travelers should be alert to the increasing crime problem throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In places where crime is especially acute, we have noted this problem under the county-specific section later in this brochure. Weather Sub-Saharan Africa is tropical, except for the high inland plateaus and the southern part of South Africa. Within 10 degrees of the Equator, the climate seldom varies and is generally hot and rainy. Further from the Equator, the seasons become more apparent. If possible, you should plan your trip in the cooler months. If traveling to rural areas, avoid the rainy months that generally run from May through October north of the equator and November through April south of the equator. Roads may be washed out during these times. I hope you've enjoyed my blog so far. See you here tomorrow. Suzie Suzie's Travel Blog Posted: Monday 14th February 2005, 12:18 AM
