Whether you’re ‘Flying to’ or ‘Staying at’, we have you covered
Welcome to Central Africa
Central Africa, while less frequented by mainstream tourism than other parts of the continent, offers incredibly raw and authentic experiences for the truly adventurous UK traveller. Imagine tracking lowland gorillas in the dense rainforests of Congo (Brazzaville) or exploring the unique wildlife of the Central African Republic's Dzanga-Sangha National Park, home to forest elephants and pangolins. This region is a place of dramatic natural beauty, vast wilderness, and deep cultural immersion with indigenous communities. It's a challenging but profoundly rewarding journey into the heart of Africa, far from the well-trodden paths, where every interaction and discovery feels truly unique.
What to expect
Climate
Central Africa largely experiences a hot, humid tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. Temperatures remain high year-round. Rainfall can be heavy, especially in the rainforest regions to the south, while northern areas bordering the Sahel may be drier.
Transport & Accessibility
Transport infrastructure in Central Africa is generally very limited and challenging. Roads are often unpaved and can become impassable during rainy seasons. Domestic flights are rare, and public transport is basic, often overcrowded. Accessibility for disabled travellers is extremely poor, with very limited suitable infrastructure.
Safety & Health
Central Africa faces significant safety and health challenges. Many areas have ongoing political instability, armed conflict, and high crime rates, making much of the region unsafe for tourism. Healthcare facilities are extremely basic, and access to medical care is severely limited. Comprehensive travel insurance, including medical evacuation, is absolutely essential, as are numerous vaccinations.
