Zimbabwe offers a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for some Sudanese travelers. Although foreign visitor numbers have recently declined, attractions like Victoria Falls and the historic site of Great Zimbabwe highlight its diverse tourism appeal. This could attract a segment of Sudan's 47 million population.
Zimbabwe is generally considered safer for tourists compared to Sudan. According to the Global Peace Index, Zimbabwe ranks 119th out of 160 countries, while Sudan is ranked 159th. In terms of murder rates, Zimbabwe has a rate of 6.1 per 100,000 people, slightly higher than Sudan's 5.1. However, other crime statistics indicate that Zimbabwe has lower indices for organized crime compared to Sudan. For example, Zimbabwe scores 3.5 for mafia groups and 3.5 for human smuggling, while Sudan scores 6.5 and 7.5, respectively. Overall, while there are safety concerns in both countries, Zimbabwe offers a relatively safer environment for tourists coming from Sudan.
