Orange Centrafrique and Telecel CAR are the main operators in one of Africa's most underdeveloped telecom markets. Basic 4G coverage only in Bangui (capital) and large towns (Berbérati, Bouar, Bambari). The rest of the country (dense equatorial forest, northern savannas) has very limited or no coverage. Nature reserves (Dzanga-Sangha — lowland gorillas) have limited satellite Wi-Fi at lodges. The Ubangui river has coverage near Bangui. Border zones with Cameroon/Chad/Sudan/DRC: variable coverage. No 5G. The political and security situation remains very tense with armed conflict in many regions. Type C/E French plugs, 220V/50Hz.
Fly into Bangui (BGF) — limited flights, usual connection via Addis Ababa (ET) or Paris (AF). Currency Central African CFA franc (XAF), ~625 XAF per USD (fixed peg to euro). Visa required and difficult — limited CAR embassies. CAR is one of the world's least visited countries due to security. Bangui is visitable with extreme caution. Dzanga-Sangha (lowland gorillas, forest elephants) is the nature gem — requires heavy logistics and specialized guide. Dinner 5-15 USD, mid-range hotel (limited) 60-150 USD. English nearly absent — French essential. USD/EUR cash only.
