The Central African Republic is not a normal two day trip, and any itinerary that pretends otherwise is selling you something false. The US State Department rates the country Level 4, Do Not Travel, its highest category, citing unrest, crime, kidnapping, landmines and terrorism. The UK’s FCDO advises against all travel to the whole country except Bangui, and against all but essential travel to Bangui itself, airport included. In two days you are realistically doing one thing: the capital, plus a day trip to Boali Falls.
