Sudan, known for its historical richness and archaeological wonders, has become an appealing destination in the international tourism landscape. Its blend of ancient heritage and modern attributes can attract a segment of the 54 million Kenyans, making it a potentially interesting option for some travelers.
Sudan is generally considered less safe for tourists compared to Kenya. According to the Global Peace Index, Sudan ranks 159th out of 160 countries, while Kenya ranks 120th. The murder rates are relatively similar, with Kenya at 5.3 per 100,000 people and Sudan at 5.1. However, crime indices indicate that both countries face significant challenges. For instance, Sudan has higher scores in areas such as arms trafficking and human trafficking compared to Kenya. Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, Sudan presents a higher risk for tourists.
