Kisumu 10
Its a city in a third world country but it offers so much and is so much safer than Nairobi etc. The people are lovely and theres plenty to see. It was named the UN's first 'Millenium City' in the world due to its potential, security and investment is now pooring in. See this link below for loads of info on the topic. Stay in Kisumu in a Guest house, just out side from the town centre for noise sake and not too near the lake to stay away from the mosquitos and your'll be fine.
