Guide
A night out in Yaoundé
Bars, live music and safe places recommended by our team.
Yaoundé is known for being calmer than Douala, but its evenings have plenty of charm: terraces, street grills, live music and dancing at weekends.
Start gently at the hotel bar
A cocktail, a local beer or a fresh juice: our bar is open until midnight, with big matches on screen. It is the perfect place to meet a colleague or wait for a friend.
Evening grills
Grilled fish and skewers rule the night. The best spots change often: ask the front desk where the team likes to go right now.
Lively districts
Bastos, the city centre and several neighbourhood junctions are full of restaurants, bars and concert venues. At weekends, many places offer live music: makossa, bikutsi or afrobeat.
Stay safe
- Get around by taxi or with our driver, especially late at night.
- Only take what you need; leave your passport and valuables at the hotel.
- Keep the front desk number handy: we are reachable 24/7 if you need help.
Whatever time you get back, the front desk will welcome you.
