Travel to Cameroon

Flying to Cameroon

Brussels Airlines (www.brusselsairlines.com) and Air France (www.airfrance.com) operate nonstop scheduled flights from European cities to Douala and Yaoundé.

From Paris to Douala is 6 hours 30 minutes.

Departure tax:

CFA10,000 (children included in parent's passports are exempt as are holders of diplonmatic passports.).

Travel by rail

Crossing from Cameroon to any of its neighbours by rail is difficult due to the different line gauges. However, there are plans to extend the rail network from Mbalmayo to Bangui in the Central African Republic.

Getting to Cameroon by boat

Cargo boats from Douala to Malabo (Equatorial Guinea) sometimes accept passengers. Speedboats and cargo boats ply the coastal route between Idendao (northern Cameroon) and Oron (Nigeria). However, these services are not regulated.

Ferry operators:

There are ferry services across the Ntem River, on the border with Gabon. Pirogues also operate across this river to Equatorial Guinea.
