Helpful Tips
Stick to Yango or Heetch in Bangui. These moto-taxi apps give safer rides and show the fare before you move. Skip random street hails.
Look for green-white SOTRAF minibuses at PK5 market. They depart when full and head to Boali and other towns. Arrive early for a seat.
At M'Poko Airport taxi stand, hire a 4x4 with driver. Lock in the daily rate before you leave Bangui.
Keep small CFA franc notes in your pocket. Moto-taxi drivers in Bangui rarely carry change.
Common Scams to Avoid
At Bangui M'Poko International Airport, unofficial porters pounce the moment you exit baggage claim. They grab bags, lug them ten meters to the curb, then demand triple the fair rate. Say no with a flat voice. Grip your suitcase. Keep walking until you spot your pre-arranged driver. Do not let go.
Inside the terminal, taxi touts swarm arrivals flashing laminated fare cards. They quote in euros or dollars at four times the CFA rate. Ignore them. Head straight for the glass doors. Outside, the official taxi queue waits. Or turn left to the new ride-hailing app counters in the arrivals hall. Both beat the touts.
Just past baggage claim, currency booths shout "no commission" in neon. Their screens show rates far below the official market. Change only 20 USD for a taxi and bottled water. Wait. In the city, banks and ATMs give the real rate. Save the rest for downtown.
