The Armpit of Africa

Douala port

Douala and Cameroon is often called Africas armpit. Because of it´s location but also because of the intense heat and high humidity. There is not much sightseeing to do in Douala but don´t worry, you´ll have plenty of activities to choose from.

Drinking and bars in Douala

This can be a problem. If you want to go to a place where all the locals go, you might end up hunted. They can ask you for beer, they will ask you for cigarettes and if you´re a male the women will try to get you. But remember. You are in there country and not the opposite. What most foreigners do is to visit bars where other foreigners and expats hang out. The problem with these places is that a small Castle or 33 will cost you $8 while in other bars a big beer costs around $2-$3.
