Common Scams to Avoid
At Bangui M'Poko International Airport, arriving passengers are often surrounded by unofficial porters who grab bags without asking and then demand inflated fees. Firmly decline any unrequested help and keep your luggage in sight until you reach the official taxi rank.
Taxi drivers outside the terminal frequently quote fares several times the normal city rate to newcomers. Agree on a price before entering the vehicle or walk to the nearby main road where shared taxis operate at standard local rates.
Currency-exchange touts inside and just outside the arrivals hall offer poor rates and may short-change hurried travelers. Use the bank counter in the terminal or wait until you reach a city-center bank for safer, published rates.
