Worth knowing about Douala
- The airport sits in the eastern part of Douala and is run by Aéroports du Cameroun, which also operates Yaoundé Nsimalen.
- The central station is Gare de Bessengué, just off Boulevard de la Réunification, and it is where the Yaoundé and Ngaoundéré trains start rather than anywhere near the airport.
- Several Intercity services a day run to Yaoundé and take 3 hours 45 minutes, which is often the sensible alternative to a domestic flight.
