Consulate in: New York.Travel Advice
The threat from terrorism is low, but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
Crime is increasing, particularly in Libreville and Port-Gentil, including incidents of robbery and armed attacks.
Following a number of carjackings within Libreville it is recommended that travelers keep their car windows closed and car doors locked if they are traveling at night.
Public demonstrations in Port Gentil have on occasion turned violent. Travelers should avoid demonstrations, rallies and large public gatherings.
