Workation in Douala: the essentials
Cameroon's largest city, with about 3.8 million residents, sits almost at sea level on the estuary of the Wouri River, and its port handles most of the country's oil, cocoa, coffee and timber exports. Douala is a business town first: Akwa and Bonapriso hold offices, shops and restaurants, there is a small coworking scene, and the international airport is about 7 km from the centre. Heat and humidity are constant, rain is heavy for much of the year and traffic is hard going. French dominates daily life. Travel warnings cover several parts of Cameroon, so check the current advice before planning a stay.
