Berbérati, Central African Republic

Capital City

This provincial hub in the Central African Republic is a far cry from the glitzy capitals that often attract expats. With a population of just under 77,000, Berbérati is a sleepy town defined by persistent bureaucratic headaches and a tropical savanna climate. The state-run hospital, while functional, is an unfenced complex run by a rotating cast of foreign administrators. For those seeking an authentic taste of rural African life, Berbérati may fit the bill - but the lack of modern amenities and reliable infrastructure means this city is best suited for the most intrepid of adventurers.
