  • 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.
  • Liberia ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Liberian government sources; many nationalities need a visa before travel.
  • Liberia ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for Liberia before you fly.
  • Monrovia area ↗Plan road trips for the dry season (about November–April); the rainy season is very wet and roads flood.
  • Monrovia ↗After dark, use a driver arranged by your hotel, door to door; do not walk between clusters and keep valuables out of sight.
  • Monrovia ↗Book an airport pickup against your flight number before you fly; do not count on finding a licensed taxi late at night.
