I know it's ridiculous considering how big Africa is, but I'm the same.

I was looking at buying a HTC One M8 on ebay a while back, and there was a fairly cheap one for sale coincidentally coming from Zambia also, decided against buying it for that reason alone.

For example just so you know - Freetown in Sierra Leone to Johannesburg in South Africa is 5893 kilometres apart and as Ebola is NOT currently an airborne virus I think you'd be alright.

Oh Lord, you do realise we are actually closer to the ebola outbreak in Ireland than Zambia is?

Phoebas

I know. I was going to phone a friend of mine in Algeria, but I don't think I should risk it until they've caught all the loose ebolas.

I saw an African person on tv and switched channel immediately - didn't want my family catching Ebola.

That entire place is nuts. Anywhere you go on holidays you are advised to stay in the confines of you hotel and if you venture out you are risking your life. It's either going to be horrible disease or a machete wielding nutter that gets you. I wouldn't go even if it was free.

The Backwards Man

The brother worked in Banjul for a couple of weeks and about six months later he fell off a wall in England and broke his hip.

Avoid!

The whole of Africa is nuts? Ebola? West Africa has 17 countries, 3 of which have an outbreak of ebola. Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa) is over 5350km away from Monrovia, Liberia (one of the ebola ''epicentres'') and Cape Town, ZA (Southern Africa) is over 5400km. Cork is just 5080km. Africa is not one country, It has 54 fully recognized sovereign states ("countries"), nine territories and two de facto independent states. Stop this scaremongering. The level of ignorance, scaremongering and racism attached to this ebola outbreak is astounding. Dehumanising an entire race/continent.

Im off to Kenya in Jan to visit some friends. Amazing country to holiday in.

Gotta agree scenery and safari is awesome, but don't kid yourself it still a very dangerous place,spent two months in Nairobi last year and gotta say it's one of the most dangerous places I've ever visited,check out top10 most dangerous cities in the world. Anyway this is off topic back to BA.

I lived there for 2 years. Depends which part of the City. Point is, cant label the whole of Africa.
