I'd live in Rwanda or Kenya over ~2/3rds of other countries. Certainly over anywhere in the Middle East, North Africa, the nation of South Africa, Central America, etc.

Everyone I know that's gone absolutely loves it, and every Kenyan I've worked with has been a lovely person.

There's a shitty "meme" that Africa is just a huge, hot version of Detroit or St. Louis or other Black American city. It's absolutely not, those classes of areas have remarkably different issues.

You sound like someone who has never been in northern africa or central america. Plenty of areas there that are clean, urbanist, and wealthy, way more than in Kenya or Rwanda.

I for sure have - and I like Central America. I also know that Sub-Saharan Africa is MUCH safer than either of those two.
