Tourism facilities in the capital city of Abidjan include some luxury hotels. Other accommodations, especially outside the capital, may be limited in quality and availability. A visa is not required for a stay of up to 90 days. All travelers arriving in Cote d’Ivoire must be in possession of a World Health Organization (WHO) vaccination card reflecting a current yellow fever inoculation. The WHO card is inspected by Ivorian health officials at the airport before admittance into the country. Medical facilities are adequate in Abidjan but may be limited elsewhere. Not all medicines are available. Street crime of the "grab and run" variety, as well as pickpocketing in crowded areas, has increased. Automobile accidents are one of the greatest threats to Americans in Cote d’Ivoire. Night driving is particularly hazardous due to poorly lit roads and vehicles. Airline travel in Cote d’Ivoire and many other parts of West Africa is routinely overbooked, schedules are limited and airline assistance is of varying quality. I hope you've enjoyed my blog and posts concerning Africa so far. Need gardening items? Spring is getting closer.
