Sierra Leone offers a unique combination of stunning beaches and lush landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some travelers from New Zealand.

Please answer the following question: How safe is Sierra Leone for tourists coming from New Zealand?
Sierra Leone is relatively safe for tourists, ranking 64th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index, compared to New Zealand's 4th place. The murder rate in Sierra Leone is 2.1 per 100,000 people, slightly lower than New Zealand's 2.6.
