WARNING: Traveling to the Central African Republic is extremely dangerous due to the risk of murder, robbery, kidnapping, and other violence including in the capital. Large areas of the country are controlled by armed groups. In the event of unrest, airport, land border, and road closures may occur with little or no notice. There is a curfew in effect nationwide from midnight to 5:00AM. Foreign governments have limited ability to provide emergency services to their citizens. Many governments advise their citizens against all travel to the CAR.
The Central African Republic (French: République centrafricaine or Centrafrique, Sangho: Ködörösêse tî Bêafrîka), also known by the acronym CAR, is located in the heart of Africa. The former French colony has borders with six countries and has had a very troubled history since the 1960s.
Political instability, corruption, and recurrent rebellions and conflicts have beset the resource-rich nation and the country is one of the world's poorest and least developed countries.
Under less extreme circumstances, however, the Central African Republic is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by the brave and the bold, with verdant rainforests and incredible wildlife.
