This is one of the few and famous african railways.
We started from the town of Ngaoundere…
Well, not so fast! First you must stay in the line of the booking office – they open it at 10 am… Then you will be asked if you made the reservation /48 hours prior to the departure/
You did not – you were treking in the Mountains! It works –
they will sell you you ticket anyway: the couchette cost 25000 CFA and 1cl seat – 17000.
Depârture was at the sunset /18.20 pm – but delayed till 18.45.. Government workers in the same car were little noisy and it was very hot in the compartments but what a experience! In the dining car they even serve meals for 2500 CFA and a coffee in the morning!
We reached Yaounde – the capital city of Cameroon at 10.30 am /with 4-hours delay – but remember – it is AFRICA!/
