Brief
- Komodo National Park visits are reportedly limited to 1,000 people per day, with advance booking through the SiOra system increasingly important during the July-October peak season. (

- Local foods to try include grilled fish and other seafood, Flores-style smoked pork known as se’i, and jagung bose, a traditional corn and bean dish.
Safety and health
- A CDC Level 2 notice reports Zika cases in travelers returning from Bali. This is not a reported Komodo-specific outbreak, but use mosquito repellent, long clothing and screened or air-conditioned accommodation; Zika can also be sexually transmitted, and it is especially important for pregnant travelers or those planning pregnancy.

- A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required for travelers aged 9 months or older arriving from countries with yellow-fever transmission, although vaccination is not recommended for direct travel from the United States. (
