Travel is currently advised against outside tightly organised circuits: follow official travel advisories and go only with vetted expeditions (Dzanga-Sangha, habituated gorillas, Boali falls). An eSIM helps: check official advisories online, share your itinerary in real time and stay reachable for family back home.
