Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of General: 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
Have you ever thought of going to a place in Africa and to Cameroon especially for a holiday? Then i will tell you about my experience i had in 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" made out of Cassava. These sea foods are being prepared 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 ...
Advantages: You'll have some great stories to tell your grandkids. Disadvantages: If you get back.

Back in the days when I worked offshore this quote pretty much summed up the unofficial offshore staff response to being told they were required to visit West Africa. Most field staff would rather work aboard a nice, clean, modern boat in the North Sea than an aging boat with dilapidated equipment that meant it was forever popping in and out of the steaming, malodorous, cockroach-infested, run down and beaten up ports of West Africa. It wasn't all bad though, and more by luck than judgement I had some entertaining moments in the area, especially in Douala, Cameroon, where our boat was based.
*Weather*
Cameroon is unfeasibly hot, in the same damp, energy sapping way that a sauna is hot. It is also wet, with seasons where it rains at the same time every day ...
