Art market in Yaounde
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you want to buy some souvenirs the art market in Yaounde is the place to go. A lot of local art traders offer their goods so you have a really good selection.

    You'll find wood carvings, masks, statues, potterie, paintings and, and, and .... There are big differences in quality - so bring some time and walk around to find the best vendors.

    You have to haggle over the prices. But as a rich European or American you'll always have to pay more than the locals. So if you know some locals tell them what you want to buy and ask them to go there and buy it for you. Then you'll make a real bargain.

    Cameroonian art.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Copper art, masks, painted calabashes, wooden statues and much more.....
    You can find it all in Cameroon.
    In the big cities, at the coastline and near tourist attractions you can always find art shops or local artists selling their items.

    streetstalls in Rhumsiki: Wedding dress
  • Tip Rating:
  • In Rhumsiki you can find some small streetstalls and workshops, where you can buy ceramics, woodcarvings and music instruments.

    In one of the streetstalls of Rhumsiki I bought a colourful ''bridal gown''. This ''gown'' consists of two colourfully and heavily decorated small shells to wear around the hips, one in front and one behind. I completed this ''wedding dress'' by a necklace in the same colours and materials, expressing fidelity.

    For the total "wedding dress'' of 3 pieces I paid 10$.

    On every corner you'll find street vendors selling fresh fruit or nuts or something else to eat.

    Prices are very low. But be careful - always remember the motto: cook it, peel it or forget it. Your health will be grateful.

    Belo daily market: Fresh fruit from the market
    Every town and most villages in the N/W of Cameroon have some sort of fruit and veg market on a daily basis. So you can buy as and when you need to cook. Fresh local organic produce is extremely cheap and even cheaper when you barter.

    Everything from fresh ginger to avocadoes, kola nuts to bananas, onions to passionfruit and fresh slaughtered cow to coco yams.

    very little!
    4-6 tomatoes - 100cfa
    2 avocadoes - 100cfa
    4 passion fruit - 25cfa
    1 kilo of beef 1500cfa
    10 bananas - 100cfa
    2 onions - 100cfa
    6 chillie peppers - 50cfa
