If you're planning to visit a country you've never been to before, you'll need to find out all you can about it, especially for safety reasons.
Health-wise, there's nothing serious to worry about
Cape Verde does not often have a high risk of disease. In the rainy seasons (August to November) and in areas such as the islands of Santiago and Boa Vista, mosquitoes swarm, creating a wave of disease in the region. This is essentially malaria, which is not very alarming. The population is not very frightened by it, as these areas are not endemic. A mosquito net should protect you from this unpleasant side. There's no point in missing out on the chance to visit Cape Verde thanks to the EASE pre-registration for this reason.
Risk zones, as in all countries
As in most countries, some cities are more or less dangerous. With the development of various forms of trafficking in certain areas, the streets have become risky in some places. On the island of Santiago in Praia, a number of assaults have been reported, and a number of people have been killed. We strongly advise against carrying valuables or money, or walking alone at night.. A guide can accompany you at the start.
Public places like beaches and amusement parks can be very touristy and attract a lot of people, so it's advisable to be careful with your personal belongings. You need to protect yourself to avoid these inconveniences. Leave your valuables in a safe place in your holiday destination. At the beach, beware of the risk of drowning. The waters in this region have a fairly strong current.
Generally speaking, Cape Verde is not a dangerous country in itself.. Some of these risks are present in almost every region of the world.
