Rules in force · 10Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on…There is no meter or ride-hailing
  • 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.
  • Mauritania ↗Apply for the e-visa on the official ANRPTS portal and print the approval; visas on arrival ended in January 2025 and the fee is paid in cash at the airport.
  • Mauritania ↗Travel advice differs by region: check your own government's advice for each area on your route, especially in the east and near the Mali border.
  • Mauritania ↗Alcohol is prohibited; do not import or carry it.
  • Nouakchott and the coast ↗Travel advice differs by region and changes: check your own government's advice for Nouakchott and every region on your route before you book.
  • Nouakchott ↗Many governments limit or advise against travel to parts of Mauritania: check your own government's current advice for Nouakchott and for every region on your route before you book.
  • Nouakchott ↗There is no meter or ride-hailing: agree the taxi fare before you get in, keep small notes, and use your hotel's driver after dark.
