Cameroon 🇨🇲 Cameroon has it all: big cities, rainforests, mountains, and the Atlantic Ocean. For my first trip in 2026, I recommend a 5-day itinerary focusing on Yaoundé and Kribi, rather than forcing myself to go to Mount Cameroon or Limbe, as the South-West region still has high travel advisories.

📅 Itinerary — 5 Days

Day 1: Yaoundé 🇨🇲
Start lightly at the Monument de la Réunification → National Museum → downtown Yaoundé. Return to the hotel in the evening. Avoid walking alone late at night as Yaoundé still has some mugging and armed robbery risks.

Day 2: Yaoundé → Kribi 🌴
Depart after breakfast. Take a private car with a driver to Kribi, approximately 280 km. Allow 4-5 hours depending on traffic and road conditions. Arrive and relax by the beach. No need to add any strenuous activities today.

Day 3: Lobé Falls 💦
Visit Chutes de la Lobé, a major highlight of Kribi. The waterfall cascades directly onto the Atlantic coast and is about 7 km from the city. You can take a boat tour of the falls.
Afterwards, enjoy seafood and spend the afternoon relaxing on the beach.

Day 4: Kribi Slow Travel 🏖️
No more road trips today. Spend time on the beaches, fish market, seafood, and truly experiencing Kribi. If the weather is good, consider a short boat trip, choosing a boat with life jackets.

Day 5: Kribi → Yaoundé
Depart early in the morning and return to Yaoundé in the afternoon. If you have a return flight, consider staying another night in Yaoundé and flying the next day. It's safer to avoid traffic jams or road delays.

🏨 Recommended Accommodation

In Yaoundé, for a good standard and easy transportation arrangements, choose Hilton Yaoundé.

If you want a lower price point and are using the hotel as a base for sightseeing, La Falaise Hotel is another option.

In Kribi, I chose Hôtel-Restaurant Les Gîtes de Kribi because it's on the way to Lobé Falls and more suitable for a trip focused on the beach rather than luxury hotels.

🍴 Recommended Restaurants

In Yaoundé, try Socrat Restaurant for a comfortable dinner.

In Kribi, if you're already visiting Lobé Falls, Le Plaisir du Gout, located on the Route des Chutes de la Lobé, is easily accessible.

Recommended dishes include Ndolé (spinach cooked with peanuts), Poulet DG (chicken and plantain), grilled fish, fried plantain, and fresh seafood from Kribi.

📌 Tip

Mount Cameroon should not be included in this plan yet. Because the mountains and Buea are in the South-West Region, which the FCDO still recommends avoiding, while Limbe itself is classified as "travel only if necessary" as of August 2026.

If you see reviews recommending Mefou Primate Sanctuary near Yaoundé, double-check, as the Ape Action Africa website currently indicates it's temporarily closed to tourists until further notice.

When traveling between cities, use transportation provided by the hotel or a reputable company rather than hailing a taxi on the street, and avoid driving long distances after dark.

🛂 Visa and Health

Cameroon has an official e-Visa system from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You should apply for and check the requirements for your Thai passport through this system before booking your tickets. The system specifies that a regular short-term visa costs 100,000 CFA and an Express visa costs 150,000 CFA, according to the current rate.

You must prepare a Yellow Fever Certificate, and Cameroon has a high risk of malaria throughout the country. Therefore, it's advisable to consult a travel medicine clinic before traveling.

✨ Summary

Day 1 — Yaoundé City + History
Day 2 — Kribi Road Trip + Beach
Day 3 — Lobé Falls Waterfall + Seafood
Day 4 — Kribi Relaxing Beach Trip
Day 5 — Return to Yaoundé

For a first trip, 5 days is ideal; not too tiring and avoids high-risk areas to see all the landmarks. 🇨🇲
