Rules in force · 10Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Broken pavements and heatCover shoulders and knees in town, for women and men alike
  • 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.
  • African islands ↗Sleep on the island you fly home from the night before your long-haul departure; inter-island flights and ferries in this region are cancelled or rescheduled often enough to break a same-day connection.
  • African islands ↗In the Indian Ocean islands book flexible rates for December to March: a cyclone warning can shut airports, ferries and roads for two or three days.
  • Comoros ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Comorian authorities before booking; visas on arrival have been available for many nationalities, but confirm before you fly.
  • Comoros ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for your route.
  • Comoros ↗Inter-island flights and boats are irregular and sea crossings can be unsafe in rough weather; prefer flights and keep a buffer day.
  • Grande Comore (Ngazidja) ↗Climb Mount Karthala only with a local guide, and check its status with your guide first: eruptions and gas emissions have closed the crater in the past.
  • Moroni ↗Broken pavements and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Moroni ↗Cover shoulders and knees in town, for women and men alike; swimwear only at hotel beaches.
