Rules in force · 8Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on…Plan every crossing and every cross-town ride in daylight
  • Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
  • Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
  • West Africa ↗Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on any West African trip: several countries on the coast road demand it of every arrival, and the rest demand it after you have passed through a neighbour.
  • West Africa ↗Cross land borders and drive between cities in daylight only; plan each crossing as a full travel day with cash for fees and passport copies for checkpoints.
  • Sierra Leone ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Sierra Leone government sources before booking.
  • Sierra Leone ↗Book the Lungi–Freetown crossing (water taxi or ferry) before you land, and check how the operator handles late arrivals.
  • Freetown ↗Plan every crossing and every cross-town ride in daylight; do not walk between areas, and go back to your hotel before dark.
  • Freetown ↗Use a driver from your hotel or a trusted contact for each leg; agree the fare before the ride.
