Rules in force · 12Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Sort the visa before the flightBroken pavements and heat
  • 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.
  • Central Africa ↗Sort the visa before the flight: none of the seven countries reliably issues tourist visas on arrival to Western passports, and e-visas here are tied to named airports.
  • Central Africa ↗Carry the original yellow fever vaccination certificate in your hand luggage; health desks at every Central African airport ask for it, and a missing card can mean refusal or a jab at the desk.
  • Central Africa ↗Before booking anything in or near the DRC, read the WHO Ebola situation page and your own government's health notice: the 2026 outbreak brought quarantine and boarding rules for people who have been in the DRC.
  • Gabon ↗Apply for the Gabon e-visa only on evisa.dgdi.ga; it is valid for arrival at Libreville's Léon Mba airport, so any land entry needs an embassy visa.
  • Gabon ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead: malaria prevention is needed in every part of Gabon, including Libreville.
  • Gabon ↗Visits to national parks are arranged through licensed lodges or operators; park fees are set by the national parks agency, so confirm what your package includes.
  • Libreville area ↗Sleep in Libreville the night before any onward flight; small planes and the train run late or cancel.
  • Libreville ↗Broken pavements and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Libreville ↗After dark, use a hotel-arranged or known car door to door; do not walk between clusters.
  • Libreville ↗Do not photograph government buildings, the presidential palace or security forces.

Know before you go

  • Masks, figures and everyday objects from Gabon's peoples, including Fang and Kota work, in an indoor collection.
  • Check that the museum is open before you go: hours are not printed reliably.
  • Go in the morning; it is a cool break from the heat.
  • Ask before photographing the collection.
