Be careful because they will try to overcharge you. They also work with the cops, so have all your info with you. It is not adviseable to go out at night!

AIrport tax on departure at 10,000 CFA.
taxis appear to charge 2000 CFA for everything if you let them, but negociate hard with them, depending on the journey length this can be knocked to just 400-500cfa.
vaccine card on arrival is a con, easy if you have a vaccine card if not, again negociate hard.!!
walking around felt safe enough and i didnt feel over concerned at any point even at night, although some areas are obviously more touristic traps than others.
