  • 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.
