I haven't been there, but I've dated Cameroonians.
You're in luck. Cameroonians are like Ivorians - intelligent and sexy.
If you have a bit of French you should have no problem. Have fun!

What in your opinion has been the safest place you've been to?
I have always been more fascinated by East Africa than West Africa, actually. You've been there too, right NN?
As always, I'm interested in business opportunities but I"m not sure you were looking around for those kinds of things when you were there.
An engineer friend of mine is carving a niche for himself in Senegal and other francophone African countries.

So all the places you listed here are the safest places in Africa?
Uganda
Kenya
Tanzania
South Africa
Namibia
Zambia
I noticed you didn't put any west African countries on there. Is this because it is generally not as safe?
Can you discuss some of the business insights you may have seen on the ground while you were in Africa?
Thank you in advance.

YMG: It depends on the country. But in general West Africa it not as safe as Eastern or Southern Africa imo. Beach front property in Freetown is a good bet. Also, the Guinea franc is gone to the wall so good opportunities exist in Conakry too. Robertsport is Liberia is also up and coming.
@afronoob: MT.O... what?

I can't remember, I think scaled the mountain but didn't reach the summit. It was a quicky; the girls had to go back to pick up some paying customers. I was just a quick fling 'for enjoying' as they say in the region.

I'm not Anglo, I'm Celt. Black Irish in fact. And naturally it's hard to be objective about it. I did discuss the ratings with others who traveled West Africa. I feel it will give you a fairly good indication. Obviously if you're black you exotic capital will be diminished. But I did meet a Korean in Sierra Leone who was cleaning up. In Monrovia, I met three Indian guys who were getting laid like rockstars.
I've only given Freetown and Monrovia a 5/5. To be frank, if they aren't 5/5/ then nowhere is.
