Good accommodation of international standard is available in Bamenda, Douala, Garoua, Maroua and Yaoundé. The good hotels (Government-rated 2-star and above) have air conditioning, sports facilities and swimming pools; most rooms have showers. Some large hotels will accept major credit cards. Rates are for the room only. Cheaper accommodation is also available. Campement accommodation, with two pavilions and individual rooms comprised of straw huts, is available just outside Waza National Park, north of Maroua in the far north of the country. Hotel facilities are in heavy demand; it is advisable to book in advance and obtain written confirmation of your booking.
