Fun and entertainment - Cameroon in 2024

Practical information : Going out Cameroon

Timetable

Every Cameroonian city has its own nightlife. Of course, the big cities offer a considerable choice of restaurants, bars, cabarets and theaters, but in general, it's never difficult to find somewhere to have a drink in Cameroon. Throughout the week, nightclubs open at around 7pm and run until midnight from Monday to Thursday, and on Fridays and Saturdays some may stay open until the early hours.

Budget & Tips

When it comes to "binge drinking", as the locals still say, there's something for everyone! Numerous bars and maquis colonize town sidewalks, offering locally brewed beers and sweet sodas. A nearby brazier is always a must, and fish is grilled as soon as night falls. Many chic restaurants are also open, offering imported products and elaborate cocktails in hushed atmospheres. They are much more expensive, but mosquitoes are not allowed.

To be booked

The trendiest clubs are often victims of their own success, finding themselves overcrowded on Fridays and Saturdays, and forced to turn away customers. It's best to reserve a table in these establishments if you're going as a group.

Night transport

At night, your number-one priority is your safety. If you don't have your own vehicle, don't just hop into any cab; get a ride home with your friends, who will make sure you've entered your building before going on their way. When available, you can also use VTC applications (which guarantee the traceability of their vehicles). You can also get a recommendation from a trusted cab driver who operates at night and is available to accompany you.

Age restrictions

In Cameroon, access to any nightclub or alcoholic beverage outlet is subject to the age of 18.

Smokers

Smoking in bars is still tolerated in Cameroon. On the other hand, smoking is much less tolerated in restaurants, although some still offer smoking areas. As policy varies from one establishment to another, it's a good idea to ask the staff in charge about this.
