- 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.
- Guinea ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Guinean government sources before booking.
- Guinea ↗Avoid demonstrations and political gatherings; check your government's advice for current restrictions.
- Guinea ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for Guinea before you fly.
- Conakry and the Coast ↗Sleep in Conakry the night before an international flight: traffic on the airport road can pass two hours.
- Conakry ↗Broken pavements, traffic and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Conakry ↗After dark, use a hotel-arranged or known car door to door; do not walk between clusters.
- Conakry ↗Traffic is heaviest 07:00–09:30 and 16:30–19:30: plan one cluster per morning and leave a long margin before any flight.

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.
