Negotiate taxi fares before starting your journey as most taxis don't use meters

Carry small denomination CFA franc notes for taxi payments and local transport

Unofficial 'Helpers' and Porters: Individuals may approach offering to help with luggage or directions, then demand excessive payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help and only using official airport porter services with visible identification and set rates.

Unlicensed Taxi Drivers: Unofficial taxi drivers may offer rides at seemingly good prices but lack proper licensing or meters, leading to inflated fares or safety concerns. Avoid by using official taxi stands inside the airport terminal or pre-booking transportation through your hotel or verified services.

Currency Exchange Scams: Unofficial money changers may offer attractive rates but use sleight of hand, provide counterfeit bills, or shortchange travelers. Avoid by only exchanging money at official airport exchange bureaus or ATMs, and verify all bills received before leaving the counter.
