Yaoundé

Welcome to Yaoundé

Yaoundé is the city of seven hills, and the capital of Cameroon. It is smaller than the economic centre Douala, but yet a bustling city with colorful open-air street markets and international embassies.

A city of 2 million inhabitants, Yaoundé is the centre of political power in the country. The city is in the Centre province, and stretches along the small river Mfoundi, which flows through the city from north to south.

Yaoundé features a tropical climate with steady temperatures throughout the year. But, mainly due to the altitude, temperatures are not quite as hot as you would expect for a city located near the equator, with daytime temperatures usually staying below +30°C. The dry season is from December to March, followed by a lengthy wet season for the rest of the year. Expect short and intense rain showers during the wet season, especially between July and September.
