The Republic of Cameroon is located in central-western Africa. Cameroon’s coastline constitutes part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean. The population is about 20,000,000 people.
The government is a republic and multiparty presidential regime with a president as chief of state elected by popular vote and a prime minister as head of government, appointed by the president.
Cameroon has some oil, but the economy depends on agriculture, and much is subsistence farming. The country lacks good infrastructure and travel can be difficult, except for a few good toll roads.
Natural features of the country range from beaches to deserts, mountains, rainforests, and savannas. Cameroon contains some of Africa’s oldest rainforests.

0}の安全・安心
個人の安全性
There is a high level of crime in this country, and travellers are advised to be extremely cautious. Armed theft and attacks are common, especially in cities and tourist areas and on rural highways. Do not resist thieves as they can quickly become violent. Avoid showing signs of affluence, such as expensive jewelry or clothing. Avoid shopping on the street. Carry certified copies of identification and travel documents at all times, with originals kept in a safe place. Petty theft, such as pickpocketing, occurs frequently in trains, buses, and taxis. Use hotel shuttle services wherever possible. Criminals usually target roads close to the borders with Nigeria, the CAR and Chad.
Exercise caution when driving in Cameroon. Roads may not be well maintained, especially during the rainy season, and may not be well marked or lit. Reckless driving and livestock on roadways also present safety concerns. Keep doors locked and do not stop if flagged down by pedestrians. Avoid travelling outside city limits after dark. Always travel in convoys of at least two vehicles and inform the local authorities of your presence. Overland travel in the isolated areas of the northern and eastern provinces of Cameroon is dangerous.
The burqa is banned in the Far North region.
Same-sex relations are illegal in Cameroon and LBGTI people face severe discrimination.
極限の暴力
The Boko Haram Islamist militant group have threatened Cameroon with attacks due to Cameroon’s decision to join a multinational force to fight the Boko Haram. Travelers are especially advised to avoid isolated or poorer areas of towns; such as in Yaoundé, Briqueterie and Mokolo market, and in Douala, Nkololun, New Bell, Akwa, Bonaberi and Village. Due to high crime stats, avoid staying at hotels in the Mount Manengouba and Jumeaux lakes areas.
政情不安
Avoid any demonstrations and large public gatherings. These situations can rapidly escalate and become violent. Public protests, demonstrations and events that draw large groups of people can turn violent. Civil unrest is possible in other parts of Cameroon. Curfews are sometimes imposed in parts of the country. There have been incidents of kidnapping and hostage taking in the Far North, North, Adamawa, East, North West and South West regions of Cameroon.
避けるべきエリア
Avoid travel to the following regions due to the high risk of kidnapping, banditry, extreme violence, and terrorism threats. High risk areas with unpredictable security conditions are: Far North region and Mayo-Louti Department in the North region;areas within 30 km of the borders with Nigeria, Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR);the North-West and South-West regions; North and Adamaoua regions; the Bakassi Peninsula; and the Gulf of Guinea.
The Boko Haram militant group has carried out deadly attacks in the Nigerian states of Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe, and Nigeria has declared a state of emergency in these states. Attacks by the Boko Haram and the Nigerian military operations, as well as militants crossing into Cameroon have affected security in the neighbouring areas with Cameroon.
