You are here: Africa --> Cameroon --> When to go


When to go



The best time to visit Cameroon is winter, from December to February, since it is the driest and sunniest of the year. In the center-south, it's hot during the day, although it can be a bit cool at night on the plateau. In the arid north, it's very hot during the day, while at night, it can get a bit cold.
As early as in February, the heat can be scorching, so you may prefer to visit the north in December and January.
On the coast, the weather in winter is hot and muggy, though with a breeze blowing from the sea; the sky is often overcast especially in the morning, and there can be some showers, especially in the southern part (see Kribi).

What to pack



In winter: for the north, but also for Yaoundé and the south-central plateau, bring light clothes for the day, loose-fitting and of natural fabric (cotton or linen), a desert turban for the wind-borne sand and dust, a jacket and a sweater for the evening, and comfortable boots or sandals. For the coast, bring light clothing, and a light sweatshirt for the evening. For the top of Mount Cameroon: a down jacket, gloves, a scarf, a hat, and a raincoat.

In summer: for the north, bring light clothes, a light raincoat or umbrella for the rain showers, and a light sweatshirt. For Yaoundé and the south-central plateau, light clothes, but also a sweater, and a raincoat. For the coast, light clothing, a light sweatshirt, and a light raincoat or umbrella. For the top of Mount Cameroon: warm jacket, gloves, a scarf, a hat, and a raincoat.
