Top 10 Tourist Destinations in Cameroon
1. Yaounde
West Africa may not be known for beautiful cities but Cameroon’s capital Yaounde certainly is one. The city is immaculately planned to be spread over seven hills meaning that the numerous buildings in the city are separated by stretches of lush green and rising terrain. In addition to its layout, the city is clean and safe with plenty of points of interest. The 1970’s government buildings here will appeal to culture buffs and are unusual looking to say the least. Given the central location of Yaounde it is also a perfect city to include in any tour of the country.
2. Maroua
Nowhere near as lush and green, Maroua still has an appeal of its own. The streets are remarkably red, sandy and dusty and the buildings are a dull beige colour but the colours of the locals clothing brings plenty of colour to the city. Maroua is a great place to experience the culture of Cameroon and its bustling markets are some of the best in the country. The city is also a great base for travllers wishing to visit the Mandara Mountains in the north of the country.
3. Limbe
Occupying the slopes of Mount Cameroon, an active volcanic mountain, Limbe is a city that acts as a great base for travellers who are looking to explore the beauty of the area. The botanical gardens in the city are a great place to learn about the nature and plants in the area before exploring the nearby waterfalls and national park. The mountain itself has a summit height of over 4,000m and is therefore a serious challenge but walks for novices are still possible around the base of the mountain without making a full ascent.
4. Douala
Douala has a reputation for being a bit grimey and insalubrious but this should not put you off visiting. This is the major city in Cameroon in most aspects; the airport is the biggest in the country, as is the port and the business centre here is the main one in the country. All of these hubs result in a chaotic and overactive feel and it is likely that you will not relax much whilst you are here. With that being said however the city is a great place to witness modern Cameroon and the few charms it offers.
5. Waza National Park
About 180 miles to the north of Maroua is Waza National Park. This park looks very different during the four seasons but is always a good place to witness some of the country’s most spectacular wildlife including elephants, giraffes and hyenas. Self-drive vehicles are allowed to explore the park but you will need a guide. This is not necarasilly a bad thing as you are much more likely to see the wildlife with a local guide that knows their stuff.
6. Bamenda
Bamenda holds the title of being the capital of Cameroon’s north-west and is a large city with all the amenities and facilities needed by travellers. The city of Bamenda is not likely to keep you interested for more than a day or two but Bamenda is a great place to reach the country’s highlands which offer beautiful lush scenery and hidden villages. The surrounding landscape is a great place for mountain biking, hiking and finding some off the radar guesthouses and restaurants.
7. Foumban
For art lovers, Foumban is a must-see city in Cameroon. The city has its roots in arts, music and architecture. It is also the city in Cameroon with the largest Muslim population. The city is much like a blend of North and West Africa with its Islamic influences. The Royal Palace and its adjoining museum is the main attraction here although the city’s mosque is also worth a visit while you are here.
8. Bafoussam
Although at first glance this city can seem busy and uninspiring, it will reward those who choose to explore. The people here are very friendly and welcoming to tourists and the palace here is a great, if not the best, example of a Royal Palace in Cameroon. The accommodation in the city is affordable and there are some true hidden gems to be found. The main tourist attraction is the tribal museum in the city which is part of the “Four Museums of Cameroon” project.
9. Kribi
This is the home of paradise in Cameroon. The beaches here are stunning with white sand, blue sea and fresh fish served from the restaurants lining the seafront. There are plenty of hotels in the Kribi area and most are reasonably priced. If after lounging by the beach all day you are looking for something different to do, the Chutes de la Lobe waterfalls are just 8km due south from the town. The waterfalls cascade directly into the sea forming a truly memorable sight.
10. Korup National Park
Korup National Park is a vast area, comprising 126,000 hectares of evergreen forest. The park is well maintained with resident scientists and well-marked trails. Many species of birds can be found in the park including hornbills and the extremely rare red headed rockfowl. Visitors to the park may even be lucky enough to see elephants or chimps although these are rare. The road access to the park can be tricky especially in the wet months when the road conditions deteriorate.

????????????????????️De Yaoundé à Bangui Par Route : Un Camerounais raconte Son Voyage Vers la Centrafrique (RCA)
Un Camerounais raconte les circonstances de son voyage de Yaounde Au Cameroun à Bangui en République centrafricaine (RCA).
Yaounde
Yaoundé, souvent appelé Ongola en béti, langue de l'ethnie autochtone, la « ville aux sept collines/montagnes », est la capitale politique du Cameroun. Peuplée de 4 100 000 d'habitants en 2019, elle est, avec Douala, la ville la plus peuplée de cet État et de la zone CEMAC.
Chef-lieu de la Province du Centre et du département du Mfoundi (les limites administratives se confondant avec celles du département), Yaoundé abrite la plupart des institutions camerounaises les plus importantes.
La ville de Yaoundé est située au sud de la Région du Centre et est éloignée de 250 km à l'est des côtes du Golfe du Biafra. Ce site de montagnes3 se décompose en trois unités topographiques inscrites dans un socle rocheux de gneiss précambrien : la barrière d'inselbergs au Nord-Ouest dominée par les monts Mbam Minkom (1 295 m) et le Mont Nkolodom (1 221 m) et au sud-ouest avec le Mont Eloundem (1 159 m) ; un ensemble de collines de 600 à 700 m d'altitude et de plateaux ; les vallées appelées également élobis.
Les différents quartiers s'ordonnent en fonction du relief accidenté du site de la ville. Les routes et les bâtiments se développent principalement sur les hauteurs des différentes collines, tandis que les bas-fonds marécageux laissent souvent place à de l'agriculture vivrière, à la végétation et à de nombreux petits cours d'eau. Quelques-uns parmi eux sont les rivières Mfoundi, Ékozoa, Biyeme et Mefou. Près du centre administratif de Yaoundé se trouve un lac appelé Lac Municipal, crée en 1951-1952. Les bas-fonds marécageux sont également une réserve foncière pour le développement de l'habitat précaire : le géographe Martin Luther Djatcheu a montré comment ce type d'habitat autoconstruit s'est développé dans les parties inondables de la ville, à la suite de la forte croissance démographique4.
Bangui
Bangui est la capitale et la plus grande ville de la République centrafricaine. La population de l'agglomération est estimée à environ 1 145 280 habitants, soit le quart de celle du pays, elle s'étend sur les communes limitrophes de Bégoua au nord, Bimbo à l'ouest et Zongo sur la rive sud de l'Oubangui en République démocratique du Congo.
La ville se situe sur la rive droite de l'Oubangui, qui marque la frontière entre la Centrafrique et la RDC, en face de la ville congolaise de Zongo qui se situe directement sur la rive opposée du fleuve. Les rapides de l'Oubangui, juste en amont de la ville, limitent le transport fluvial des produits commerciaux, ils constituent historiquement un point de rupture de charge pour la navigation à vapeur. La majeure partie de la ville s'étend sur une plaine marécageuse à l'ouest des collines de Gbazabangui qui coupent la localité selon un axe nord-sud. A l'est, sont situés le couloir de Ndrès et les collines de Kassaï.
Le corridor Douala Bangui
Le corridor Douala Bangui, est un des principaux axes de transport africain, il constitue un axe du réseau communautaire de la CEMAC. Le tracé d'une longueur de 1 500 km, est particulièrement essentiel aux échanges commerciaux de marchandises de la République centrafricaine, pays enclavé

Financement

Véhicule escorte vu du ciel (2015)

Il est entrecoupé de nombreux points de contrôle et de stations de pesage. En octobre 2012, il faut de 15 à 28 jours pour transporter un conteneur de Douala à Bangui.
