Central African Republic

At a Glance

The Central African Republic is one of the most remote and least visited countries in Africa, with vast rainforests, extraordinary wildlife including forest elephants and lowland gorillas, and a natural environment that remains largely untouched. The culture has deep roots in Bantu and Sudanic traditions, with a rich oral history and crafts culture. It is exclusively for experienced travellers comfortable with very limited infrastructure and genuine remoteness.

• Has some of the world's largest diamond deposits, yet consistently ranks as one of the poorest countries.
• Less than 5% of the country has paved roads.
