Cultural shock

A move to Africa requires adaptation as the basic social amenities and safety net systems in much of Europe do not exist and in countries where social amenities exist, they are uncomparable to the ones in Europe. Some of the problems you are likely to encounter include irregular water and power supply, inadequate infrastructure, bureaucracy, excessive demands for “gifts” to render services, high rent charges, advance rent payment of at least two years, and so on. This could emotionally break you down.
