According to Altezza Travel, a global tourist organization, Ghana is the second safest country in Africa since it has a relatively low crime rate. This places Ghana in the second position when it comes to the continent of Africa.
According to a survey that provides recommendations for tourist locations for the year 2025, Ghana has a lower crime rate when compared to several other countries, including Canada, Greece, and Australia.
The findings of this study provide credence to the findings of other international organizations that have voiced their appreciation for the Ghana Police Service’s recent performance, highlighting the enhanced community patrols that they have conducted.
Ghana has surpassed Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, China, and even Jamaica in terms of the Global Peace Index, according to the report, which acknowledged this fact. For the purpose of the terrorism index, it is one of the countries that has a score of zero. A lower crime rate can be found there compared to those of Canada, Greece, and Australia.
Ghana fares better than the bulk of African countries, including popular tourist sites such as Kenya, Ethiopia, and Madagascar (which are frequently romanticized in Hollywood), despite the fact that it falls below all “first-world” countries in terms of the Global Safety Report and the Human Development Index.
According to the Numbeo Crime Index 2025, Ghana, Rwanda, and Tunisia are the top three nations in Africa with the lowest crime rates. This information was included in certain sections of the report. On the other hand, crime can be difficult to quantify, and ranking frequently depends on the manner in which crime is recorded and conceptualized.
It is possible that different sources or indexes rely on different data gathering methods, time frames, and survey approaches, which eventually leads to discrepancies in the conclusions that they produce.
A travel business called Altezza Travel selected eight of the safest countries in Africa and assigned a point to each of them. The selection was based on a number of different facts. A variety of assessments, such as those on criminal activity, worldwide security, human development, KOF globalisation, global peace, and global terrorism, served as the foundation for the analysis.
