The war lasted almost four years and more than 10,000 people were killed. But that was in the \u201890s. Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/destinations\/europe\/bosnia-herzegovina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina<\/a> is a peaceful and remarkable country and one of the best hidden gems in Europe. You\u2019ll discover charming cobbled Old Towns, beautiful waterfalls, incredible historic monuments, and tasty foods like \u0107evapi and Bosnian coffee. Go and explore Bosnia now before the word really gets out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/tours\/balkan-delight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Balkan Delight<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-morocco\">2.

There have been claims that theft, pickpocketing, and street harassment are extremely common in Morocco. It&#8217;s also said to be a particularly unsafe country for female travellers. However, the UK Government says that around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice\/morocco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">700,000 UK travellers<\/a> come to Morocco every year and most visits are trouble-free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So don&#8217;t let the stereotypes put you off. Morocco is a spectacular country filled with aromatic bazaars, colourful cities, lush riads, and the stunning Sahara Desert. If you feel like you don\u2019t have the confidence to travel on your own, join one of Trafalgar\u2019s amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/destinations\/africa-the-middle-east\/morocco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Morocco tours<\/a> and we\u2019ll support you all the way!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/tours\/best-of-morocco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best of Morocco<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-zimbabwe\">3.

As the country recovers, visitors are coming back &#8211; and for good reason. Zimbabwe is one of the greatest safari destinations on the planet, with massive elephant herds in Hwange National Park. It\u2019s also home to the stunning Mana Pools and the mighty Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls on the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While visitors should <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/zimbabwe-travel-advisory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exercise increased caution<\/a>, Zimbabwe is one of the countries that are safer to visit, particularly if you stick to the main tourist destinations. If you\u2019re concerned about your safety, you can visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/destinations\/africa-the-middle-east\/zimbabwe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zimbabwe<\/a> with Trafalgar. You\u2019ll have the support of a Travel Director and Local Specialists who have access to all the latest information and travel advisories and can show you around all the spectacular sights of Zimbabwe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/tours\/victoria-falls-experience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Victoria Falls Experience<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-nepal\">4.

That couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. While Nepal suffered greatly during the <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/specials\/world\/nepal-earthquake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2015 earthquake<\/a> with over 8,000 people killed, the country is rebuilding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set high in the Himalayas, Nepal is a natural oasis, home to peace-loving Buddhist people. Visitors come to go trekking in the spectacular Himalayas and set eyes on the formidable Mount Everest. You can also see the dazzling temples and historic architecture and get to know the beautiful Nepalese culture. If you\u2019ve always wanted to visit Nepal, don\u2019t let the rumours dissuade you\u2026 This is one of our favourite countries that are safer to visit you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/tours\/nepal-adventure?optionId=1207\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nepal Adventure<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-serbia\">5.

The destruction was massive. While Serbia has mostly recovered and is a safe travel destination, it is struggling to attract visitors. It\u2019s also a landlocked country without the beachy appeal of its neighbouring countries like Croatia. But that\u2019s not to say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/destinations\/europe\/serbia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Serbia<\/a> doesn\u2019t have its own unique attractions that are well worth visiting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The capital Belgrade is on the confluence of two rivers, with the striking Kalemegdan Fortress overlooking the city. Wander the streets and you\u2019ll find remnants of Roman, Ottoman, Celtic, and Austro-Hungarian architecture and history &#8211; and it\u2019s absolutely fascinating. If you\u2019re more of a nature lover, you won\u2019t want to miss the stunning \u0110erdap Gorge and Uvac Canyon, as well as Kopanonik and Zlatibor national parks. As you roam the mountains and pastures, you\u2019ll find plenty of peaceful monasteries like the UNESCO-listed Studenica monastery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-au\/tours\/balkan-adventure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Balkan Adventure<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-egypt\">6.
