The camp security: the premium tented camps in Tanzania and Kenya maintain 24-hour guard personnel at the camp perimeter , and the camp’s evening escort from the dining area to the tent is the same for the solo traveler as for the group. The destination-level risk: Tanzania and Kenya are, by the crime-rate statistics, significantly safer for the international tourist than the equivalent European or North American urban environment , Kenya at 99th — both within the “Low-to-Medium” crime-risk category for the tourist in the national park and safari zone, the higher risk concentrated in the specific Nairobi city-center and Mombasa urban areas that the safari visitor does not visit].
