According to Lonely Planet, the Ebola outbreak in west Africa has had a knock-on effect on tourism in east African countries, despite the region’s distance from Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.
“So listen up: London, Madrid and Paris are hundreds of miles closer to the outbreak in West Africa than East Africa’s tourism heartland,” the guide states, touting the current affordable deals to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania on offer.
Timor-Leste, also known as East Timor in South East Asia, which gained independence in 2002, also makes the list for its affordability outside of the capital Dili.
