Known in French as Aeroport international de Douala, Douala Airport is both a public and military airport. As with any international airport, it brings in a lot of people to Cameroon's biggest and largest city, making it the country's busiest airport.
The airport is located just 10 kilometers from the city's center and is used by airlines such as, Africa's Connection, Brussels Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Camair - Co, Air France, etc. It is a very well maintained airport and gives a pleasant reflection of what the city might have in store for you. With many car rental companies in its vicinity, you can sure save yourself time and make your journey more comfortable by booking one there immediately.
Since the city is Cameroon's crowning champion, that is, its capital, the region is kept well maintained for investors and tourists alike. You will come across many restaurants, bar, coffee houses and French style patisseries. All of the beauty will be enhanced by the waterfront of the Gulf of Guinea and the mangrove swamps alongside.
The weather, so tropical can be a real heart pleaser. Just make sure you hire a car to secure a good transport.

They either find taxi fares to be too expensive or local buses too unfamiliar and clustered to travel with. So the best option is to rent a car. They are relatively cheap, plus they get you from one place to another easily and comfortably. And what is more important than comfort?

The city, however, doesn't end here, you can find the Hotel Akwa Palace to reserve a room and from there visit places like Place du Gouvernement, La Pagode and what not.
