Libreville Practical information

Health & safety

Dangers & annoyances

Libreville is not a particularly safe city and theft is on the rise. Be careful in the back of share taxis and getting out of taxis at night. Don’t wander onto the beach after dark. Take all the precautions you would in any big city.

Always bring either your passport or a copy of it (and your visa) with you. Police will often attempt extortion for some infraction.
