- 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.
- Republic of the Congo ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Congolese authorities or embassy before booking; do not confuse them with the DRC's rules.
- Republic of the Congo ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead: malaria prevention is needed everywhere in Congo-Brazzaville, including the two big cities.
- Republic of the Congo ↗Do not photograph government buildings, the presidential palace, security forces, bridges or airports.
- Brazzaville area ↗Check your government’s advice on the Pool region and border areas before leaving the city by road.
- Brazzaville ↗Do not photograph government buildings, the presidential area, security forces, bridges, the airport or the port; ask before photographing people.
- Brazzaville ↗Carry your passport or a certified copy; police checks are common and unresolved paperwork can cost time.
- Brazzaville ↗Use hotel-arranged or agreed-fare taxis, especially after dark; agree the fare before you get in.
