  • 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.
  • Madagascar ↗Check visa and e-visa rules for your passport on Madagascar's official e-visa portal before booking.
  • Madagascar ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for your route.
  • Madagascar ↗Hire a car with a driver for road trips; self-drive is rarely practical and driving after dark is unsafe.
  • Madagascar ↗Do not buy or export wildlife, tortoise shell, precious stones without a certificate, or protected plants; enforcement at the airport is strict.
  • Antananarivo and the highlands ↗Hire a car with a driver for trips out of town; self-drive is rarely practical, and driving after dark is unsafe.
  • Antananarivo ↗The Haute-Ville is steep, with long flights of steps and cobbles: large suitcases go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Antananarivo ↗After dark, take a hotel-booked or radio taxi door to door; do not walk between clusters.
