Health: Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory. Take malaria prophylaxis and drink bottled water (~$1/liter).
Currency: Angola (Kwanza, AOA), São Tomé (Dobra, STD), Cameroon/Equatorial Guinea (CFA Franc, XAF). Carry small USD bills for markets.
Safety: Stick to busy areas, avoid flashy items, and use secure bags. Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended.
Packing: Light tropical clothing, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a Type C/F adapter (Angola, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea) or Type F (São Tomé).
