Good to know when visiting le Cameroun
Timetable
The future belongs to those who get up early! In Cameroon, as in all the countries of equatorial Africa, life begins in the wee hours of the morning, often before daybreak! Buses leaving for the country's main roads, markets being set up, schools opening or simply morning rituals, life begins at 5 a.m. and the early hours of the morning are ideal for hitting the road or embarking on hikes and excursions into the wilderness.
To be booked
Access to the National Parks can be complicated depending on the season, and the services of a guide and sometimes a ranger are also required. Organizing these excursions in advance is essential to ensure that you can visit the parks in good conditions.
Tourist traps
It is advisable to use local tourist agencies or tourist information offices to obtain the services of an experienced guide. Beware of improvised guides who are more interested in extracting the maximum amount of money from you than in providing you with a real experience of the area.

Discover le Cameroun
Situated between the Sahel, West Africa and Central Africa, and open to the Gulf of Guinea, Cameroon is at the crossroads of Africa. This particular geographical situation is reflected in the diversity of climates, landscapes and geological formations from one region of the country to the next. Added to this variety of scenery is the cultural mix created by the peoples who have crossed this land. From the earliest settlements of Bantu ethnic groups, to the migratory movements of Sahelian peoples and successive colonial flows (Portuguese, German, English and French), Cameroon has been the scene of significant cultural clashes, often resulting in confrontation or, at the very least, friction. Its interesting geography and eventful history make Cameroon a complex country, but above all one rich in discoveries, both in its cultural and natural heritage. Watch, learn and keep an open mind.
