10. The Central African Country - Far Cry 2

There€™s no denying that this land-locked central African nation is mightily picturesque. It boasts huge sweeping savannas, lush green jungles, rolling deserts and plenty of wildlife to photograph. Despite its beauty however, we wouldn€™t recommend it for a safari adventure holiday. There€™s a strong chance you€™ll contract malaria as soon as you rock up, and because medication is scarce - only available from priests it seems - be prepared to collapse at the most inconvenient of times. Don€™t bother using public transport either €“ the buses aren€™t what you€™d call timely. Your only option if you want to explore is to hire yourself a car, but be sure to request a jeep with a roof-mounted machine gun at the Hertz Rental desk because any journey you make will likely be interrupted by trigger-happy militiamen firing rusty AK47€™s at you for no reason. Or they€™ll play a game of chicken with you in their machine gun-mounted jeep. But if this does take your fancy, be sure to have a simple understanding of car engines because the RAC aren€™t going to be helping you. And if you know basic field first aid and can remove bullets lodged in your body with a knife, then that€™s a bonus too. Oh, and the biggest reason to not visit this place, THERE€™S A BLOODY, ENDLESS CIVIL WAR HAPPENING!
