Beach near Maroua, Cameroon

Maroua Travel Guide

Cameroon

Maroua is a city of about 320,000 people in northern Cameroon and the capital of the Far North Region. It is an inland destination, so the surrounding landscape is quite different from Cameroon’s coastal cities.

Travellers arriving by air use Salak Airport, also known by its code MVR. There are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres of Maroua, so beach trips are not part of a stay here.
