Garoua is the capital of Cameroon's North Region, spread along the banks of the Bénoué River. It is the gateway to Central Africa's great wildlife parks and a stronghold of Fulani culture, with a busy market and a traditional ruler's palace. For UK travellers it is an adventurous, off-the-beaten-track destination, usually built around a safari or business in the region's cotton and cattle country.
Garoua is one of the hottest cities in Cameroon, so timing matters. The dry season, roughly November to March, is the most comfortable and the best time for wildlife viewing, before March and April turn intensely hot. The wet season runs from about May to October and peaks in August and September, when park tracks become difficult. Check the price charts on this page and aim for the shoulder weeks either side of the Christmas peak.
There are no direct flights from the UK to Garoua, or to Cameroon at all. The usual route is to fly to Douala or Yaoundé with a one-stop carrier, then connect to Garoua on a domestic flight with Camair-Co, the national airline. Air France via Paris, Brussels Airlines via Brussels, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, Royal Air Maroc via Casablanca and Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa all reach Cameroon from London with a single connection. Allow a full travelling day: London to Douala or Yaoundé is around 8–11 hours including the stop, plus a domestic hop of roughly 90 minutes to Garoua, and sometimes an overnight in between.
Most visitors use Garoua as a base for the national parks, but the town itself is worth a day.
The airport sits just a few kilometres from the city centre, so transfers take only 10 to 15 minutes by road. There is no organised public transport from the terminal, so take a taxi or arrange a pick-up through your hotel or tour operator in advance, agreeing the fare before you set off. Safari companies will usually collect guests directly from the airport.
UK passport holders need a visa for Cameroon. Most travellers apply through Cameroon's official e-visa system before departure, with approval finalised on arrival, though you can also apply via the Cameroon High Commission in London; start early, as processing takes time. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is compulsory and antimalarial tablets are strongly advised. The currency is the Central African CFA franc (XAF), which is pegged to the euro — carry euros in cash to exchange, as pounds are hard to change and card payments are accepted only in major hotels. Always check the latest FCDO travel advice for Cameroon's North Region before you book.
