Cameroon is open to leisure tourism, but travel is high-friction and higher-risk than a typical vacation destination. The main problems are regional insecurity, kidnapping/crime, and active advisories against travel to several parts of the country. Travelers can go, but should plan very carefully and avoid the warned-against zones.
