Introducing Yaoundé
Yaoundé is unique among West African capitals for its green and hilly setting. Set at an altitude of 750m, this gives the city a slightly more pleasant air than sweaty Douala. If its rival to the west is livelier, Yaoundé is better placed for travellers – anyone heading from north to south will pass through, and it’s a good place to pick up onward visas, rest from the road and charge your batteries.
