But you’ll also find bus and taxi station in every town.
When you take the bus or tro tro the prices are fixed.
First inform yourself, the other people know the prices.

Getting TO/AROUND: It’s an adventure on its own, traveling by train.
You can go from Douala to Yaoundé and from Yaoundé to Ngouandere and back of course.
Traveling by train is safe, but they don’t always leave on time.
The vehicles are very old and it’s possible the locomotive gets broken along the way.
So you’ll better take a first class ticket, it’s a little bit more expensive than a second class ticket.
But you’ll get airco and nice seats for it and when you’re stuck along the route somewhere in the forests; it’s nice to cool off in your wagon.

Getting TO/AROUND: When you’re traveling in remote areas, you don’t always find a bus or car to reach your next destination.
When you’re alone and traveling light, you’ve got the possibility to catch a motorcycle.
You’ll miss the comfort of a car or bus, but it is an experience at its own.
Take your time to look around; you’ll enjoy the beautiful landscapes much more.

Getting TO/AROUND: “La Kribienne” is the bus agency that connects Yaoundé with Kribi and visa versa. You can find the agency in Quartier Mvan in the south of Yaoundé or in the centre of Kribi. Tickets will coast about 3000 cfa and you don’t have to pay for your luggage, but the porters will ask a 2000 for your luggage. The trip will take about 3 hours and don’t be surprised when they drive like F1 pilots.
