Water Isn’t Free: 5 African Destinations That Are Running Dry
In many parts of Africa, fresh water is scarce — and tourists use way more than locals. Here's where water is running low, and what to do about it.
Destinations Under Pressure:
Cape Town, South Africa – Already survived “Day Zero.”
Northern Kenya – Drought and livestock loss.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – Overpopulation + water stress.
Windhoek, Namibia – Desert climate with limited supply.
The Sahel Region – Desertification is rising fast.
Water-Saving Travel Habits:
Take shorter showers
Reuse towels instead of requesting fresh ones daily
Avoid water-heavy hotel features (huge bathtubs, fountains)
Report any visible leaks to hotel staff
