The country is bilingual(French and English)though in Douala most people there would be speaking French.In terms of cleanliness ...

Review of General: Cameroon

Experience in Buea

Advantages: Good weather, good accomodation
Disadvantages: The huts in the Mt. Cameroon could be better

The Town Buea is a town that is located at the foot of Mt. Cameroon in Central Africa.Once you get into the country through the Douala international Airport, it takes about an hour of driving to get to Buea.It is located in the Anglophone part of the country so the language spoken there would be English.The town is the capital of the South west Province which is one of the ten provinces in the Republic of Cameroon.Moving around the town is quite ...
...Molyko, which is where the Buea University campus is located.The area is quite lively when students are on campus.In the evenings there are lots of places where you can get grilled fish with either fried plantains or fried potatoes.There are a lot of drinking places also around the university area and you can't miss it for there would be students all over the place. Lodging is easy get and it is relatively cheap.Check out The Lady L Hotel in Molyko,Buea ...

Advantages: lovely places, people, cheap to live
Disadvantages: dangerous at night, you can be attacked by robbers

Yaounde Cameroon Yaounde is the capital of Cameroon and is one of the parts of the country where you have different origin of people and types of food and traditions. I was in Cameroon to Yaounde to visit a friend i met on the internet. He took me from the Nsimaleng international airport which is out sketch of the city. Its cost about 650pounds for a two way ticket to Cameroon and for this you have to save some money extra. When we arrived the city, ...
...was in the night and everyplace was busy and i saw that life is out here. Its not a wild, but a paradise there. We lodged in Hilton Hotel which is right at the center of the city. After i had my shower, it was time to go for dinner. My friend took me to some part of the city where its seems it never sleeps. This part is named "Mini Fem" and what i saw here, its not a story to tell but it was good and fun. We had food like "bongo chobi" which taste ...

Review of Yaound (Cameroon)

Visit Kribi in Edea, Cameroon

Advantages: sandy beach, cheap hotels, variety of super food and lot more
Disadvantages: mostly french language is spoken there. For those who cant speak

...one part of Cameroon called Kribi in Edea. This place has a very good sandy beach which is totally incredible. Its a very highly touristic site for the people of that area do enjoy the presence of tourists amongst them. I will first of all begin with some foods being eaten there. You have the roasted fish like Makerel, Barr, Crabs, prawns and other species of the sea food which is so cheap as two pounds and eaten with something called there as "bobollo" ...
...also in different forms like cooked, fried, smoked. You tell the chef there how you want it made for you. Its so sweet. The temperature there is hot but moist and its really good for the white skin. The people in that area are so friendly that you will have great fun and love being with the local natives of Kribi. For those who love beer, there's just a variety of beers there for your liking like my favorite which is "33 Export". You have other ...
