It reports robberies of British nationals, sometimes at knifepoint, in parts of Freetown and at peninsula beach resorts, and advises completing road journeys in daylight.

  8. Samoa

    Safety

    Before
    Samoa is calm and welcoming, with low levels of violent crime. The usual issues are petty theft from open fales and vehicles, strong ocean currents and reef cuts, and driving hazards — narrow roads, roaming dogs and pigs, and driving on the left since 2009.
    After
    The UK FCDO says the level of serious crime is low and petty theft is uncommon and opportunistic. Tides can produce powerful currents in lagoons and waves break directly onto reefs, so take local advice before swimming or surfing.
