- 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.
- Seychelles ↗Seychelles requires a travel authorisation for visitors; apply only on the official government portal and check the rules for your passport before you fly.
- Seychelles ↗Check with a travel clinic whether a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from or through a country with yellow fever risk.
- Seychelles ↗Do not take shells, coral or coco de mer nuts without an export permit; the Vallée de Mai and Aldabra are protected sites.
- Victoria ↗Cover shoulders and knees in town and in churches and temples; swimwear stays on the beach.
- Victoria ↗Taxis on Mahé use fixed rates by zone; ask for the fare before the ride and carry small rupee notes.

Paying and tipping
Rounding up is enough: far less than the 15–20% you would leave in the US.
- Order at the hatch and pay when you get your box.
- Ask the price before you order.
- Cash preferred; a few take cards.
- Tipping: Not expected at counters or bars; about 5–10% in a sit-down restaurant if service is not already added.
- Check whether service is already on the bill before you add a tip.
At the table
- Take rubbish to a bin, not the beach.
- Look for a busy counter with fish on ice: that is fresh; a long English menu at a beach bar is a sign of tourist prices.
- Ask the price by weight and the cooked total for whole fish before you order.
- Book beach-road dinners at sunset a day ahead in the high season.
