Rules in force · 6Traffic, broken pavements and street crime
- Cameroon ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Cameroonian authorities or embassy before booking; a visa is usually needed in advance.
- Cameroon ↗Check your government's advice region by region: the Far North, North-West and South-West regions and some border areas have had advice against all travel.
- Cameroon ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and check the yellow fever vaccination certificate requirement for entry.
- Douala and the Littoral ↗Advice differs by region: stay within the parts of the Littoral and the south that your own government's advice allows.
- Douala ↗Traffic, broken pavements and street crime: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
