Central African Republic Travel Tips
Must-see hotspots
Bangui riverfront, Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve (western lowland gorillas and forest elephants), Boali Falls, Manovo-Gounda St Floris National Park, local markets, and scenic Ubangi River areas.
Data planning
Plan for 2-4 GB/week for basic navigation, messaging and photo sharing. If you need to upload large files or stream, allow more — but note that high-speed coverage is mostly in Bangui and major towns.
Insider tips
- — Public Wi‑Fi is rare and often insecure — use your eSIM for safer, more reliable access.
- — Long-distance travel is limited; rely on local guides and offline maps downloaded in advance.
- — Roads can become difficult in the rainy season (roughly May–October). Dry season (November–April) is better for access to parks and remote areas.
