Worth knowing about Bamenda
- Do not plan on flying in. All operations at Bamenda Airport were suspended in 2020 because of the Anglophone Crisis, and the field is in Bafut subdivision outside the town.
- Arrival is by road. Bamenda is linked by road to Yaoundé and Douala and sits 366 km north-west of the capital.
- The security picture governs everything else here. Many governments recommend avoiding all travel to the Northwest Highlands, and the region was described as unsafe as of 2022.
