Transport in Foumban - Lonely Planet Travel Information

Getting there & away

There are a few direct buses to Yaoundé (CFA3000, five hours) and Douala (CFA4500, six hours); otherwise head for Bafoussam (CFA800, one hour) and change there. Bus agency offices are on the west side of town, about 3km from the Grande Marché (CFA100 in a shared taxi).

Transport between Foumban and Kumbo (CFA3000, around six hours) runs year-round, with times varying according to the rains. Although the road is very poor, it’s easily one of the most beautiful in the country, skirting along the edge of the spectacular Mbam Massif.
