First of all, this is my first time seeing the impressive view of Cameroon 🇨🇲 like seriously guys do you see the beauty of Africa.? One love from 🇸🇱 Sierra leone
We are blessed with natural beauty .one love from 🇸🇱 Sierra leone
Cameroon is really beautiful
I love people from Sierra Leon. They have a good African solidarity spirit. This is from a Cameroonian
I am a Ghanaian, lived in Douala forty years ago. I miss Nkolulu,Kasalafam Cinema ABC and Marche Congo. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

I kinda curious about Cameroon city after saw African cup lol so thats why I ended up here, I hope Cameroon always keep progressing love from Jakarta, Indonesia🇮🇩
Love Indonesia
Indonesia has developed quiet a bit. Soon it wont be classed as 3rd world.
Jakarta looks like a really cool and vibrant city too

I looooooove camerooon, the land of Samuel eto and Patrick mboma God bless, from UGANDA
Cameroon is good country. I travel led there 2017, during CAN Gabon, Cameroon won the champion, but When I left in Yaunde Airport, The lions returned to that airport from Gabon, I rushed through crowds of fans, then My phone got stolen though……besides that, Cameroon is a good and comparatively safe country. People are nice and friendly. But police and custom officials were really corrupted, asking or scammed money from me several times. Even I took a photo in front of a bank, the police came to disturb me and ripped 18 mil F from me. Highway police will ask for fine of 35 mil F for "overspeed" though they didnot have a speed ditect machine.…Douala is big and business active, we conclude this is a business city fit for strong heart people. Best Wish to Cameroon to grow stronger and more prosperous. My Love from China!
I'm so happy to have taken you round the city of douala. Hope everyone who's watched liked the video? And please let's share as well

You'll be welcome ooh
I'm Cameroonian currently in Nairobi we can even link up, if you're comfortable with that
J'ai vu un drapeau ivoirien au début de la vidéo. Les camerounais nous aiment bien et vice versa . la ville est belle j'avoue
oui, le drapeau ivoirien est là parce que la vidéo a été tournée pendant la CAN donc les drapeaux de nombreux pays africains ont été hissés partout au Cameroun
S était pendant la CAN
Ls star Africa has missed his true professional calling! Doing a better jobs than some people on Cameroonian tv

Thank you
Douala ! Our version or Lagos / New York. Hustlers only
Yes oh, I like it here
Nice one, I remember travelling to Douala as a kid when I finished primary school in Victoria, which is now Limbe. I remember seeing Bonaberi bridge then as a small kid from Limbe. We were also shown Akwa Palace. It was fun then and happy to see the development today. My parents are from Nigeria. I am happy you explained the mystery of Mbappe Leppe. I thought he was related to the present day Mbappe. My father used to tell me how Mbappe Leppe used his shot to bring down goal post.
There are just front the same tribes nothing else
Sounds like you’re of my generation. I also grew up in Victoria which became Limbe.
I was born there. I went to St. Joseph Primary New Town, class of 73. I left immediately after finishing primary. I left for Nigeria to continue my education. Nigeria is home for me. Left Nigeria for London for God knows how long now.
Yes me too. I'm from Limbe
Wow, nice to see you with Francis another CZcamsr, I'm subscribed to his channel also. I'm from Limbe not to far from Douala. Cameroon 🇨🇲 is in Central Africa but sometimes considered as West Africa. Unfortunately Douala is not as clean as Kigali, Next time visit Limbe, a small city but clean
beautiful mall there
Beautiful video mom. That's awesome ❤❤
Really done well for showing us this beautiful part of cameroon 🇨🇲
Thank you
My beautiful country ❤️
You have a beautiful city!!! I'd love to see some of the food you eat there.
Nice video. I have watched till the end.
Hi girl, thank you
Douala is actually 5 millions inhabitants and the largest city in Cameroon, available data on this city have not been updated since a while!!
I see! Good thing is I said it is over 3 million inhabitants. Thanks for this updated numbers
Guillaume Hermann, where did you get these figures since you guess they have not been updated since many years?
Douala has a population of 3.9million people as of 2022 with d population rising about 3% yearly.
@@kangderick Douala is over 5 million

I love the name of the channel its beautiful and you too you're cute and the content is👌 I love it
Thank you very much and welcome to my CZcams family 🤗❤️
Another thing with Cameroonians is, they don't believe that our country is great, they look at those countries that has invested their development only in one city while Cameroons development is highly diverse thinking Cameroon is not develop, when u all move around Africa then u will know Cameroon is Paradise, & am happy over 7 million Nigerians are helping to use the country more than us Cameroonians 😂😂😍😘🇨🇲❤
What's you say is important :Cameroon is in the Central Africa but by culture, history an populations are half West Africans Another half are Bantu Central Africans It's where Bantu Africa begin
Right 👍
Southern Cameroon use to be part of Eastern Region Nigeria until a plebiscite to determine their choice.
Half of Cameroon is not Bantu. Only 30% of Cameroonians are Bantu
@@R33Po Ok Thank you very much The Cameroonians are more West Africans Than my brothers and sisters
@Cookiie Read your history book. Have you come across a political party called National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon (NCNC).
Planning a trip to Cameroon so your video was so informative, thank you; but I need to know, where can I get that top you’re wearing in that video it gave me so much life🫶🏾
I'm glad you found it helpful. I made the. Top here in Nigeria 🇳🇬😊
Bonapriso is absent it's the most clean quarter in Douala for me
There's a cinema at bessengue
I want 😫 to get something from the Douala grand mall, I got it from there last time and someone took it
The mbappe france player and the mbappe Cameroon 🇨🇲 legend are linked because they share the same tribe which is Sawa, Mbappe is a Sawa name. That is the relationship between them
Thank you for showing us Douala! Tech Tip: The microphone is overloading and causing distortion. Please project lower volume or move the microphone further away :-)
Thank you. I appreciate the tech tip 👏🤗
@@africanstoryteller very welcome
Mbappe Leppe (stadium) is the grand father of Mbappe in France.
No no
No they are not related
@@willboun8171 you don't know much about mbappe.
Nice City almost looks like part of Lagos
Yes
❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice. Douala is like Lagos for hustlers I guess
Yes
Very much a hustling place
@@pietrojenkins6901 they're both unique I'm their own ways
🌴🌿🌱🌹
👍👍👍👍
Ok This is finer than any city in Nigeria
🤣
You are high on hard drugs, to use this city to compare any top three cities in Nigeria
👍
Hmmmmm
How many times must I say MARRY ME!
Nice video but you could take your time and do a better one , Douala has more beautiful and clean places than what you showed to us today.
I encourage you though, don’t stop go ahead.
Doula don't ever aba din the classic sloped roof architecture And also keep in mind homogeneity in geught and homigeneity in height and in architecture design in a particular road or ward
Of course mbappe is related. This is how Africans deny and reject their own due to ignorance. If it was the west they would do anything to tell you he is from there.His father is Cameroonian, his heritage is Cameroon, his name is Cameroon how is he not from cameroon then? Duoala is beautiful indeed, but like most African cities it needs good roads to get there not just within the city but good dua carriageway leading in and out of the city...
No they are not related. They just share the same name
@@willboun8171 mbappe is a common name from Sawa douala tribe and mbappe father is from that tribe you can have 1000 and 1000 people with that name from that tribe
@@tomplus7576 Exactly. That's the point I was trying to make.
@@willboun8171 Mbappe is cameroonian. That's the truth.
Hey Sister ! the most populated city in central Africa is Kinshasa with close to 17 millions people.
Yes, I meant to say Cameroon. I've corrected it in my pinned comment
Kinshasa is a member of the East African community not Central Africa
No cinema hall at the aquarium mall
Looks like a modern, vibrant city. But I'm looking to see if there are any historical sites, such as it's old slave port? Museums, and libraries? As my ancestry is Tikar, from northwest Cameroon.
Yes, brother. There's a lot of ancestoral, and historical sites in Cameroon. I'm from the tikar tribe too. Descendants of biblical 12 sons of jacob and ancient Egyptians. Black history is rich. You are welcome to the continent so called Africa. The biblical promised land. The biblical land of Canaan.

Douala looks like a bustling city.
It is
It's my city, wish you can visit.
Very very! And the amount of techpreneurs are growing rapidly.
What kind of rule is that of no filming in the mall. Na Wah ohhh Cameroon and rules.
I'm telling you 😄
Great review of our town sis, you kept pronouncing Mall the right way until your partner learned it. Lol
Hahahahahahhah
I think to be honest after seeing Cameron.I think Ghana is very well advanced in all its Citys infrastructure wise Compare to other West and Central African countries, and we will soon catch up with SA.In 2030
Stop comparing. I've been to Ghana twice trust me, Accra does not compare to Douala. After making this video I toured Douala more so I say that for sure
@@africanstoryteller my sister abeg tellam oh. These Ghanians are becoming something else on social media. @Swiss Bank Cameroon is Far Far more advanced than Ghana even with all attention and admiration your country is getting from the diaspora, it will never compare to Cameroon, even with the political instability Cameroon is facing right now.
You see just a snippet of Douala and you make such unfounded comments? Moreover Douala isn’t even the Capital of Cameroon. This just shows how backward Ghana is.
Keep shut, Cameroon has all round infrastructures developments than Ghana , Ghana only have Accra , Duala is more develope than Kumasi the ghana second city
how far is douala from Yaounde? do you have any videos of how much is the price of a vacant lot per square meter in douala?
Check this video I made czcams.com/video/S_ZLdiR2Iuo/video.html
One thing that is funny to me is there okada has umbrella
Yes oh🤣, t like it though, no sun
@@africanstoryteller na so
The rainy season in Douala is no joke! 😂
Nice observation, when I go home to Cameroon, I also find it interesting because I have heard stories of people being poked in the face by those umbrellas but it's also a nice addition to protect riders from the elements especially the famous torrential Douala rains.
Greetings Arm tv
I guess you are a CZcamsr in Cameroon 🇨🇲, i am as well. I will love to form a network of Cameroon CZcamsrs,
Please how can I get to you
I'm only visiting Cameroon. I live in Nigeria
@Virtue Grace ahh okay
Are you still in Cameroon
Great job Grace! I really love y’a content. Thanks for showcasing what Cameroon is all about. But just something, please can your guy actually pronounce ‘MALL’ like how it’s supposed to be pronounced? I mean it’s one way. No disrespect to him but c’mon 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Is Cameroon issuing tourist visa to enter ?
Yes
💯 they do.
are there any car manufacturers in cameroon like honda, hyundai, toyota or nissan?
I'm not sure
yes there are and more

Thank you for showing my hometown. The city has almost not change since early 2000 when I left. I found it very disrespectful to you and to the viewers for your host to be showing you around dressing up very poorly and in sandal.
🙄🙄🙄 . The city view is what matters here I think 🤠. My dressing 🤔🤔🙄
@@LStarAFRICA Don't take it personally, I know you guy back home are very hostile to any constructive criticism . I am one of your subscribers , you need to respect your viewer that how your channel will grow.
@@timcamer4702 Ooh you're right but was just surprised something like that came i didn't see it coming. I'm not trying to defend myself or something like that
@@timcamer4702 Douala has changed a lot. Saying it hasn’t changed shows you haven’t been to Douala for a long time. You should pay a visit. Grace showed just some part of it, like 20%. U can check African Development Bank’s data on the development or change of Douala. From roads (Bonaberi, Bonamoussadi, Lendi, Makepe, Yassa, etc), to an increase number of tech startups, to d number of banks, sky-high buildings (particularly in Akwa & Bonanjo), hotels, restaurants in Bonapriso, 2 bridges on the Wouri, interchange in villagè. Masa Douala has changed lots!
😂😂😂😂. 5 stars hotel
I Thing this Douala is over 10 millions citizen
No, it's about 5 million currently.
What is Cameroon most known for among other Africans outside of the country?
Cameroon is Africa miniature . It has all the geographical ecosystems. That is coastal lands ,hills deserts mountains ,grassfield and forest . It has one of the most fertile soils in Africa due to the mount Fako the tallest and active mountain in west Africa. It's called the bread basket of Africa, I don't want to talk Abt foot ball etc every body knows. Plus cameroon has the most beautiful pple in west and central Africa ,that's a fact. Ur favourite movie Tarzan was shot in one of our forest . U may wanna read a bit abt it if it interest you. We also have the longest serving president 🇨🇲 lol
Football, Old Jazz music(Manu Dibango, Talla Andre Marie which were copied by Michael Jackson and James Blunt), Makossa( traditional Cameroonian music that has inspired all the urban music existing in Africa today), pepper (the best in the world: it is excessively expensive in Europe), Dr Ernest Simo (emblematic figures of astronomy in the world),etc...
I almost forgot the kitchen! Even the French who have the best cuisine in the world come to Cameroon for culinary tourism because Cameroonian restaurants in France are very popular.
@@frinwie1688 👍🏾👍🏾 thanks!
