- 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.
- Côte d'Ivoire ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Ivorian government sources before booking.
- Côte d'Ivoire ↗Governments advise against travel to parts of the far north near the Mali and Burkina Faso borders; check your own government's advice.
- Côte d'Ivoire ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for Côte d'Ivoire before you fly.
- Abidjan area ↗Plan lagoon crossings outside rush hours; bridges are the constraint, not distance.
- Abidjan ↗Lagoon bridges jam roughly 07:00–09:30 and 16:30–19:30: plan crossings between Plateau, Cocody, Treichville and Marcory outside those hours, or add 40+ minutes.
- Abidjan ↗After dark, move by hotel-booked car or ride-hailing car door to door; do not walk between districts.
- Abidjan ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for your passport and route before you fly; it may be checked on arrival.

Rescue anchors
A rescue anchor is a spot where you can stop and recover if the walk goes wrong: a bench, a café, a toilet. Every letter on the map is one anchor, and each has a card below. We check that any point in the cluster is within about 7 minutes’ walk of one, so you are never far from somewhere to sit down.
Lettered circles: rescue anchors (green works in any conditions, amber only on hot days). Dashed outline: the cluster. Red dots: spots more than 7 min from any anchor. Drag to move; click the map, then scroll to zoom.

- The country's main cultural and conference centre on the Treichville lagoon-front: check the current programme before you go — the building itself is worth a look even with nothing on.
