Côte d'Ivoire
Warnings and insurance
Your travel insurance could be invalidated if you travel against advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
Areas where FCDO advises against travel
Borders with Burkina Faso and Mali
FCDO advises against all travel to:
- within 40km of the borders with Burkina Faso and Mali
- Northern Zanzan and Savanes provinces
- Comoé National Park
This is due to an increased risk of terrorist attacks and kidnaps by terrorists based in the Sahel region, which includes Burkina Faso and Mali.
Côte d’Ivoire-Liberia border
FCDO advises against all but essential travel to within 20km of the border with Liberia owing to the risk of serious violence by local militias.
