Helpfulness
This is a wonderful place (not in the zoo located in the town) but is around 1 hour outside the town. A fantastic place to see how the primates are taken care by a group of volunteers. A must and a worthwhile visit.
The place is called Mefou National Park and is situated around one hour from the centre of Yaounde. It contains 1044 hectares of forest. At present it has eight electrified enclosures housing Chimps, Gorillas, Baboons, and various species of monkeys. Mefou is the perfect setting for visitors to see Cameroon's unique wildlife in a natural environment.
Call victor who is a nice and helpful person at the park, he can be reached at : 237 77 63 34 69

Prestige Hotel: You Can Do Better than This
Over60 Says: I spent one night here in June, 2010. Although the price was favorable, I really cannot recommend this hotel. My room was cramped and dirty, and the bath was dirty and the commode was missing parts. The room, on the front side of the hotel, was extremely noisy into the wee...

Hotel Fraicheur: Ideal budget location
Rrroel Says: This hotel is a real gem: friendly staff, clean rooms, a central location and a rooftop terrace with a great view. When we came back from a restaurant after midnight, the watchman was already asleep. As we were still in a good mood and rather thirsty, the man went out to...
Wafro Says: Around six o'clock they start preparing the large chunks of meat on their improvised BBQs. Usually beef, pork or goat with a lot of salt and herbs.When the meats is well done you don't have to worry to become sick.
Over60 Says: I enjoyed about a half dozen good meals here while spending a couple of weeks in Yaoundé in 2010. The restaurant provides a nice change from the routine of Cameroonian restaurants serving a mixture of Cameroonian and French dishes, and the food--although not spectacular--is...
Le cafe de Yaounde: Jungle scene!
africateach Says: Great place to eat! They have all the typical rice dishes and seafood platters. They also had a very fine assortment of wine that we partook in! You can sit in their little balcony jungle room, or in the garden they have gazebos and grass tables! Service is friendly, but...

Along the busy streets you find water sellers, for about 10 cfa you can get a large cup fresh water.
It isn't mineral, but tap water!

Don't take pictures of government buildings, or of anything that may be military. Any of the local militia 'gendarmes' will try to use this as an opportunity to confiscate your camera. Play along with them though, and offer to buy them a beer, and pay maybe CFA 2000 Francs. Be prepared for a long wait to get your confiscated property back.
