Packing list and requirements With FARO EAST NORTH CAMEROON
Hunters can bring up to 2 rifles in Cameroon. Applications for the rifle permit and visa are done in the country of origin at the local Cameroon Embassy or through the booking agent.
It is highly recommended to check in advance that the serial number of the rifle, on the rifle permit is the same as on the rifle you are taking along.
Also, when the rifle permit allows you to bring 50 ammo per gun, bring the exact number that is written on the rifle permit not more and not less. Also, make sure the rifle is set with the same ammo that will be used during hunting.
Our agent in Paris, Mathias can help you with the domestic flight from Yaounde/Doula to Garoua, hotel if needed in Yaounde/Douala, meet and greet, transfer to hotel, custom assistance in Yaounde/Douala if overnight is necessary, (do not save on this assistance). Mathias can also apply for the visa and rifle permit.
The hunting permit is obtained by the hunting outfitter. The hunter must send:
- Copy of passport
- 4 identity photos
- Copy of the visa
- Copy of the rifle permit (6 copies on landing)
- Medical prescription from a doctor saying that: the hunter is able to hunt in Cameroon
- Yellow Fever vaccine is mandatory to present on arrival to Cameroon
- Malarone treatment or equivalent is highly recommended
- Make sure to have liability insurance and repatriation with you. You may be asked to show it. Let the outfitter know in advance if you have medical restrictions or food or beverages preferences.
- Make sure to have enough EURO cash on you and not US dollars for gratuities and trophy fees unpaid upfront.
Our local staff and people from villages are happy to receive old clothes from hunters, so think about bringing some along if possible.
Use Dark green clothes, not light-colored clothing. Also, shoes to protect the ankle and strong soles are recommended. Your feet are the key to your safari. There is a laundry service at camp. Your clothes are returned clean in 24 hours.
The 220-volt generator is switched on from 6 pm to 10 pm, sometimes at nap time for air conditioning. You need all your personal medication, sun creams, eyeglasses, binoculars, a small torch/flashlight, and any personal belongings you may need.
