The Amazon Basin
There are many reasons why the Amazon Basin in South America is considered to be dangerous. First, the water is home to numerous predators that a simply swim in the said water may easily lead to death via getting eaten. The said predators could be barracudas, piranhas, and all the other small critters that attract them to name a few. The Amazon Basin also contains the world’s most terrifying fish: the candiru. There have been many who claimed it can swim up people’s urethra and eat their genitals although there is no proof that it can actually do what many people believe it can. However, we’ll let the fear of this possibility strike a chord inside you for now.

Lake Victoria
This lake is the largest lake in Africa and it ranks as the third largest lake in the whole world. There are some parts of this lake, however, that you might want to avoid. What makes this lake very dangerous is because of the high number of deaths that occur in it every year. So far, the number has reached to approximately 5,000. Pretty high, right? The lake is dangerous mainly because it has its own weather system. This is why the weather in the lake can easily change from calm and sunny to horrible and stormy in a matter of seconds. If you happened to be swimming in the lake when such change occurs, then you might not all get out of it alive.
