Stay On Land: The Most Dangerous Places to Swim Around the World

4. The Nile River

The Nile River is known as the "cradle of humanity," yet it's definitely one of those spots you should stay away from. Because there are a lot of crocodiles in the Nile River that might easily kill you. There are roughly 100 crocodile attacks on the Nile River every year, and most of them are lethal. Movies show sharks as incredibly dangerous predators in the ocean. Every year, there are 70 to 100 shark attacks and 5 to 15 deaths. Crocodile attacks and shark attacks are very different from one other. So, don't swim in the River Nile.
