Central African Republic - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Do not travel to the Central African Republic (CAR) due to armed conflict, crime, civil unrest, and kidnapping, as well as Embassy Bangui’s limited capacity to provide support to U.S. citizens. Read entire Travel Advisory.

The Central African Republic (CAR), a landlocked nation in Central Africa, is characterized by a vast, undulating plateau averaging around 500 meters (1,640 feet) above sea level. The northeastern part features the Fertit Hills, while the southwest is dotted with scattered hills. The country's northwestern region boasts the Karre Mountains, a granite plateau reaching 1,143 meters (3,750 feet) in elevation. The Ubangi River forms a significant part of the southern border, joined by tributaries like the Mbomou River in the east and the Sangha River in the west. Dense tropical rainforests thrive in the southern portion of CAR, particularly along the Ubangi and Sangha rivers.
