Guinea
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: Guinea is a developing
country in western Africa, with minimal facilities for tourism. Travelers
who plan to stay in Conakry, the capital, should make reservations well in
advance. French is the official language; Pular, Malinké and Soussou are
also widely spoken.
A passport, visa, international vaccination record (WHO card), and
current yellow fever vaccination are required. Travelers should obtain the
latest information and details from the Embassy of the Republic of Guinea,
2112 Leroy Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, tel. (202) 986-4300, fax
(202) 478-3010. The Guinean embassy does not maintain a current
website. Overseas, inquiries should be made to the nearest Guinean embassy
or consulate.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical
facilities are poorly equipped and extremely limited both in the capital
city and throughout Guinea. Medicines are in short supply, sterility of
equipment should not be assumed, and treatment is frequently
unreliable. Some private medical facilities provide a better range of
treatment options than public facilities but are still well below global
standards. There are no ambulance or emergency rescue services in Guinea and
trauma care is extremely limited. Water in Guinea is presumed contaminated,
so you should use only bottled or distilled water for drinking. Malaria is a
serious risk to travelers in Guinea.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling outside of the U.S. are encouraged to register with the U.S.
Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the U.S. Embassy. By registering, American
citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of
emergency.
The U.S. Embassy is located on the Transversale No. 2, Centre
Administratif de Koloma opposite the New Radio Station in Ratoma, Conakry,
Guinea; telephone +224-30-42-08-61 through 68 or fax +224-30-42-08-71;
