Travel notes for Cameroon

CM / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

With 6 neighbours sharing a border, Cameroon lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Cameroon sits close enough to the equator that the year is measured in rain, not seasons. The dry stretch is the comfortable one for moving around. The wet one doesn’t cancel the trip, but it does soak it.

MONEY

Paying your way

Take out cash less often and in bigger amounts: most ATM fees are charged per withdrawal, not per euro, so four small ones cost four times what one does. Use a machine attached to a real bank, in daylight, indoors if you can.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Photograph your passport, visa and insurance and put the copies somewhere you can reach without your phone: an email to yourself works. The day the bag goes, the copies are what turn a disaster into an errand.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

When you share no language at all, writing beats talking: type it, show the screen, let them type back. Speaking louder and slower has never worked for anybody.
