Travel guide
Understand
Bambari is notable for the large deposits of iron ore that have been discovered nearby. However, the lack of sophisticated transport infrastructure in the area means that the ore is yet to be mined at all.
Get in
Bambari is around a drive road from the capital Bangui along the avenue de l'independence.
