Getting Around

🚌
Long-distance minibus (Bangui to Bambari) 15,000 XAF

Bangui central bus station (gare routière de Boy-Rabe) → Bambari gare routière (south edge of town)

360 min · Usually 1–2 per day, departing early morning (5am–7am) · Departures 5am–7am; arrive by 1pm if no breakdowns.

💡 Minibuses often leave when full – arrive by 4am to secure a seat. The road is mostly laterite, so expect dust. Bring water and snacks. From the Bambari gare, take a moto-taxi (500 XAF) to Guest TGH.

🚕
Pre-booked airport transfer (Bangui M'Poko to Guest TGH Bambari) 250,000 XAF

Bangui M'Poko International Airport (BGF) → Guest TGH Bambari

300 min · On demand (by arrangement with guesthouse or local driver) · Daylight hours advised (5am–5pm); road conditions poor after dark.

💡 Ask Guest TGH to arrange a 4x4 for this rough 250 km road. Agree the fare before departure; drivers often charge 300,000 XAF for foreigners. Cash in CFA francs is essential.

🚕
Moto-taxi (town to Guest TGH) 300 XAF

Anywhere in Bambari town centre → Guest TGH Bambari

8 min · Abundant – motos wait at every junction (5am–9pm) · 5am–9pm daily; later at night only near bars.

💡 Check the driver has a spare helmet (rarely). Bargain hard – 300 XAF is the local price. Guest TGH is 2 km east of centre, on the dirt road past the Catholic mission. Ask for 'l'auberge TGH'.

🚕
Local brousse taxi (shared 4x4 from Bambari town centre to Guest TGH) 500 XAF

Bambari town centre (taxi stand near marché central) → Guest TGH Bambari

10 min · Irregular but frequent during market hours (6am–6pm) · Roughly 6am–6pm daily; very limited after dusk.

💡 Shared taxis are old Toyota Hiluxes with no fixed route. Wait until at least 4 passengers fill the car or you'll pay the full 'course' price (about 2,000 XAF). Give the driver the guesthouse name – locals know it.
