Travel by rail
Getting to Central African Republic by boat
It is sometimes possible to hire a boat, although this is expensive and services are unpredictable.
Ferry operators:
The route by ferry along the Ubangi to Bangui from Brazzaville in the Congo (Rep) is run by SOCATRAF.
A car/passenger ferry normally operates across the Ubangi between the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangui-Zongo and Bangassou-Ndu. Fares are very low, although the service breaks down frequently and may be disrupted by political instability.
River routes:
Visitors may not cross the river to the Democratic Republic of Congo on Saturday or Sunday, as the customs posts in that country do not operate at the weekend.
