No matter why you're visiting, our accommodation options have something suitable. Take note of these helpful tips to save money during your visit:.

When it comes to booking hotels in Cameroon, Thursday is typically the cheapest day. However, before making your decision it may be beneficial to compare average hotel prices over two weeks before making a final decision.
Your accommodations options in Cameroon vary, with luxury establishments concentrated around Yaounde and Douala. There are also various campsites throughout the country including those associated with church missions and hotels, providing more camping space options.
2. Book Early
Due to Covid affecting occupation trends, there is currently plenty of opportunity for bargain hunters when booking accommodation in Cameroon. Booking early can lead to lower rates; typically Thursday is the cheapest day and Saturday can be more costly.
Public transportation offers convenient and cost-effective travel solutions, with buses being an economical and dependable mode for short distance travel; taxis cabs ("clando") may also be suitable alternatives, though it's wise to negotiate prices before entering as drivers may attempt to overcharge you.
Be sure to always consult the weather forecast prior to traveling anywhere new. Rain is commonplace in Cameroon and can make outdoor activities difficult or even dangerous.
3. Stay Off Season
Cameroon's tropical climate ensures it remains hot and humid year round, making November to March's dry season ideal for travel to Cameroon when temperatures become more bearable and drier conditions prevail.
As Cameroon poses a high risk for malaria, vaccination is highly advised before traveling there. You should also bring insect repellent and use sunscreen. Yellow fever vaccination should also be obtained, along with precautionary measures against other illnesses like cholera, hepatitis and bilharzia.
Petty crime and terrorist attacks are unfortunately all too prevalent in Cameroon, making it wise to be wary at all times - including public transport and hotels where tourists tend to be targeted. Make sure that your belongings remain close while not displaying expensive items in public view. Tip around 2.00 USD/EURO/GBP as gratuity for hotel staff. Thanks to Covid creating price volatility in the market, this offers you the chance to score some seriously good accommodation deals!
4. Stay Local
Cameroon is an inspiring travel destination, featuring breathtaking natural features like Ekon Nkam Falls and Mandara Mountains that capture many tourists' hearts. But for an authentic travel experience, choosing the right hotel can make all the difference.
