I volunteered here for a month and had such a great time I will definitely be going back for longer. I've learnt so much and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. As a vet nurse I was given many opportunities to practice and develop my skills, all whilst learning new things. I can't wait to be back!

A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Cameroon

Where to Volunteer in Cameroon

From the active volcanoes to the rock formations, Cameroon’s mosaic of sceneries along with more than 200 language spoken here make this an ethnically and geographically diverse location. Wherever you go here, you’ll never tire of the mokassa music and roasting plantains. Here are the best places to volunteer in Cameroon.

Douala. This western port on the banks of the Wouri River is an economic and commercial hub for Cameroon, and it’s home to an international airport. Follow your nose to the French-style patisseries, stroll through Central Market, and marvel at the colonial cathedrals. Here you’ll get the pulse of Cameroon with the hubbub of the busyness and charming street life.

Yaounde. You’ll find this capital and second-largest city that spreads over seven hills of Cameroon in the southern central area. While this city is near the equator, thanks to its high altitude, experiences a mild temperate climate unlike its sister cities in Cameroon. You’ll have the pleasure of seeing several 1970s government buildings, and you can explore one of the many art and national museums as well.

Limbe. Just two hours east of Douala, this seaside city boasts the rainforest foothills of Mt. Cameroon. With its black sand beaches, Limbe Botanical Gardens, Limbe Wildlife Centre, and Bismarck tower, this city makes for a popular destination for visitors in Cameroon. You’ll find the majority of volunteer programs here ranging from empowering children to community development, and with it being a good tourist city, it’s a hot pick.
