Central African Republic Travel Advice

It is advised against all but essential travel to the Central African Republic (CAR). The north and west of the country, especially the areas bordering Cameroon and Chad, is particularly dangerous and should be avoided.

It is no longer safe to travel by any of the road routes between CAR and Cameroon even with a military/police escort. Rebel forces are active in the northeast of the country, particularly in the Vakaga province and around the town of Birao; and the area remains volatile. The border with Sudan is closed.

The threat from terrorism is low but visitors should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organisations for the latest travel advice:
