Elevated official travel advice
Exercise a high degree of caution and travel by daylight
Norway identifies traffic, crime, weak healthcare, malaria and periods of political unrest as the main risks, while the United Kingdom and Australia also stress armed highway robbery, unsafe taxi-brousses, isolated-beach crime, poor roads and dangerous or poorly maintained boats. Southern and western routes require recognised operators and strong local security checks; the Tsiribihina river journey is excluded because armed criminals have boarded tourist boats. Cyclones and heavy rain can cut roads and coastal access from November to April. This edition excludes demonstrations, taxi-brousses, informal river or sea transport, isolated night stops and every night road. Use pre-booked transport, official park guides, suitable insurance and medical-evacuation cover.
