Rules in force · 11Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on…Broken pavements, traffic and heatAfter dark, use a hotel-arranged or known car door to door
- 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.
