The 10 Most Dangerous Places To Explore In The Whole World

6. Mali

Unknown

Mali, a landlocked nation in northwestern Africa and home to Timbuktu's infamous city, is home to multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In addition to incredible cuisine, Mali has some of the most interesting architectural structures globally, such as the Old Towns of Djinn, which continuously-inhabited structures since 250 B.C. However, since the military coup of 2012, radical Islamist terrorist groups have essentially taken the country hostage. These groups target tourists, so it's probably best not to go there right now.
