When you’re travelling around Cameroon by public transport you certainly once come across a flat tyre. The condition of most of the roads is dramatically bad and the condition of many vehicles is even worse. So flat tyres or cars that won’t start are part of the all day life.
HEllo ,I am actually in Cameroon right now, working in Yaounde as an engineer after graduating in the USA.I can guarantee that the weather won't be a problem. Besides, you can always go to the beach in Kribi or in the north to visit Mont Cameroon and it should be sunny there.Honestly Cameroon is the last country in wich you could complain about the weather. It is true that it has been rainning unusually those last days, but it is still nothing compared to the rains in London for example where I have lived for 9 months.So you are welcome to Cameroon.

My most favorite experiences where the ones that involved talking to the people that lived there. If you're in a village people will look at you because you are different but most of the time they are curious and the way to break the ice is to just say hello, good morning, how are you... Village life. I stayed in a village for a month and I'll miss knowing my way around, knowing when the market is in town, when country sunday's are, how polite and respectful people are, knowing how to get a good meal.
The Belo Public Walk is the first developed public walk route in Cameroon. It is a two and a half hour walk route through the countryside surrounding the village of Belo. It has route markers along the paths directing the trekker and information boards about local landmarks. Along the route you can see waterfalls and pools, the quarter head's traditional compound and the road built by the Germans.The best bit about it................It's free! Trekking through the beautiful highlands without needing a guide.
Trekking in the Bamenda Highlands from Mbingo to Belo, Belo to Lake Oku, Lake Oku to Afuah, Njinikom Plataeu, Fundong to Abuh or Abuh Forest to Lycom Palace. The options are endless, the sights breath taking, the wildlife and birds endemic and and the chance that your friends will ever do and see such things pretty small!
Money is often a problem in Cameroon. Don't expect that your credit card is accepted everywhere. Most of the shops don't. ATMs are rare and if you find one it might be temporarily out of order.So the best is cash. Either you bring dollars or preferably euros or traveller cheques to exchange. But ask for small bills. If you buy something most people are not able to give you back the change. Sometimes you will be forced to pay more or to waive the deal.So be prepared. Always have some small change in your pockets. And try to get rid of the 10.000 and 5.000 CFA-Franc-bills first.

Not many travellers pass the Kousseri border to Chad. So in Kousseri we saw only local people and didn't met any foreigner.One of the reasons are the safety problems along the road from Mora to Kousseri. Along this route we didn't encounter any problem, except a few kids throwing stones to our truck, after we refused to give them presents.It was the first and last time during our trip of 3 months in 9 countries in Africa, that we met kids doing this.About the safetyproblems we were told, that there were no robberies the last months, after the police has extended their controls along the road.
We were in Kousseri, the most northern bordertown in Cameroon, at midday.It was amazing how many people walked in the mainstreet, at the hottest time of the day !But most of the people were sitting in the shade, looking at what's going on in their town (like our truck parked nearby in the shade), chatting and looking after their trade, many big sacks filled with onions.
Kousseri is the bordertown at the Cameroon side of the border with Chad. After crossing the Logone river you are in Chad. From the border town Nguele at the Chad side it's only 7 Km to the capital N'Djamena.We arrived at the office of the authorities in Kousseri just before 12 am and heard the office is closed till 2 pm, so we got an unexpected long lunchbreak in Kousseri.Time for shopping (bread and juice for lunch) and a visit to a cybercafe.
