Places to stay/camp |
Excellent bush camping in the rain forests, if you leave a fair amount of
daylight to find good places.
Limbe Mile Six beach with its black volcanic beach sand is pleasant to spend
a few days camping, at 2500CFA pppn
The Presbyterian Mission in Yaounde isn't ideal, but seems to be the only
camping option in Yaounde. It cost us 5000CFA for a double room (plus
they try to charge for the vehicle parking too), and
the same amount for camping in our vehicle. |

Other information |
Did not have a visa and they are NOT issued at the border with Ekok (see
journal entry). We ended up paying just $16 in Buea and had no
problems exiting. |

Overall rating |
An amazing amount of rainforest, but again evidence of logging and burning
on a vast scale. Bilingual (French and English), and very hospitable. Very
little apparent official corruption, especially after travelling in Nigeria! |
