The
photography of the trains and railway installations in Cameroon without
authorisation is
STRICTLY PROHIBITED !
This
interdiction is also valid for all kinds of Military and official
buildings (Ministeries, governement , police and court buildings,
etc.). The police is usually present
everywhere
in uniform and in civil clothes, and may take not only the films, tapes
and memory cards, but also the complete equipment (cameras, etc.).
Instead, if you got a valid photography authorisation from the railway
company, and you ask the station personal and the police station before
you begin to shoot pictures, you will not have much to fear.
The photography authorisation can be requested at following address:
