Having traveled extensively throughout the shit holes of Africa (I say that lovingly) this is a bit of a misconception. While there are no doubt some bad motherfuckers who will definitely kill you dead, the vast majority of people, particularly on a traveled route, realize you have negative value dead, because dead foreigners bring trouble, and are mostly just really aggressive panhandlers. I’d take this trip before I walked across South Chicago. 

Sure yeah, but what about St. Louis?

While I certainly wouldn't travel through the Congo right now, I agree with JR's point.

I've traveled through more than few so called shit holes in Central America and Africa, and the only place I've ever been the victim of a violent crime while traveling was New Orleans.

Yep. I prefer downtown Kabul than downtown DC (insert any US city). And I tend to walk with my 1 local, yes we are both armed, but I listen to them. Being in Risk Management means ya gotta learn real risk.

They have been in Kenya for a year or so but plan to go back once it is back to being only moderately terrible.
