Travel tips for Cameroon

  • 1

    Carry small denominations of CFA francs for markets and street vendors, as change is often unavailable in rural areas.

  • 2

    Avoid tap water entirely—stick to bottled or filtered water to prevent stomach issues common in tropical climates.

  • 3

    Dress modestly when visiting religious sites or rural villages to show respect and avoid unwanted attention.
