10 Most Friendly Countries For African Travellers

In this article, RNN talks about the 10 most friendly countries for African travellers. It is not new that some countries bar entry to African travellers. However, some countries are opening their doors to African travellers to explore. We will give you an overview of some friendly destinations you can travel to as an African, also included are a few destination ideas to help you choose the best tour for you! Without further ado, Let’s get into it.

1. Thailand

Thailand is one of the most popular travel destinations for people of colour. Like many Southeast Asian countries, Thailand is known for having friendly locals who are always willing to extend a hand to travellers visiting the country. In addition, the country is super cheap to stay in. Thailand is a place where you can find affordable lodging in almost any part of the country. If you stay out of restaurants and stick to local street food, then you will find that your dollar can stretch a long way.

What are the most beautiful places in Thailand? It’s hard to narrow it down, to be honest. The unique landscape has made Thailand famous worldwide with thousands of temples, tons of gorgeous scenery from north to south, and glistening beaches with towering karst islets.

2. Canada

Canada is known for being an accepting and progressive country. What few people know is that several parts of Canada have a substantial minority population. Part of this is because of immigration. Canada has a much easier immigration policy than America and several majority Black countries have groups of people who are housed in Canada.

In particular, there is a large Caribbean Canadian population in Toronto. Toronto is an eclectic city with so many sites to offer to a traveller. The food is amazing and the art culture is strong. You may freeze to death in the winter time but it is worth the trip anyway.

3. Portugal

When I think about Portugal, I think about amazing food and even more amazing scenery. While Portugal can sometimes be seen as a companion trip to Spain, it is a country that is more than able to stand on its own. Since Portugal is such a diverse country in its own right, it is one of the most friendly countries for African Travelers.

4. France

France would most likely be on every list of the most friendly countries for African travellers. The country’s capital, Paris in particular is known for being a hot spot for Black ex-pats. Several famous black artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Josephine Baker, James Baldwin, and Beyonce have raved about how amazing Paris is.

5. Singapore

The thing about Singapore is the effort that they put into making sure that their tourists are safe. They have a well-trained and available police force that is known to work well with foreigners. In addition, the US has a good working relationship with the country if by chance you were to get into trouble.

6. Japan

Japan just had to be on the list of the most friendly countries for African travellers because of the Japanese historic love of Black culture. You can go to many of the nightclubs in Tokyo and other major cities and find hip-hop music blaring from the speakers. In addition to the enjoyment of the culture, you can find amazing food and welcoming locals. You can also find groups of locals who are willing to give recommendations and directions to tourists.

7. Malaysia

Malaysia is a great place to travel because it is known for having a great nightlife that almost any budget can afford. Like the other Asian countries that are on the list, Malaysia is known for being very affordable. It is suggested to spend some time at the Petronas Towers so that as travellers you can get the full experience of the skyline of the city.

8. Greece

Greece is not only a popular tourist destination in Europe, but the cost of living in Greece is also quite low compared to other European countries. The Greeks are also warm and friendly people. To top it all, the culture in the country is also fun and exciting.

9. Brazil

Brazil is known for having one of the highest populations of African people outside of the continent of Africa. There is so much to learn from Brazil with its combination of African and Portuguese cultures. There is a deep art community here that travellers can take advantage of.

Brazil is experiencing an increase in the number of African-North American visitors interested in learning about the African roots of Brazilian culture. Most of these travellers visit Salvador, the Brazilian city with the highest percentage of residents of African descent, as well as Rio, which is more of a melting pot but where Afro-Brazilian culture is also strong.

10. Vietnam

Vietnam is a fascinating place to be. There is a wonderful combination of Chinese, Portuguese, and Japanese culture that makes Vietnam a very special place. What I think people truly enjoy about Vietnam is that it is a very affordable trip. If you take advantage of hostels and local street food then you can seriously save some coins. Vietnam is known for having friendly locals, affordable lodging, and super cheap street food.
