When traveling with a group, the itinerary is pre-specifed and often include place one would not pick individually. Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, is one of those places. There wasn't much here that I wanted to see, so I visited two museums.
My tour guide was excellent. A larger portion of the museum was dedicated towards politics, history and economics. I asked a lot of questions. He was able to satisfactory answer all of them. The highlight of the tour was learning more about the current Anglophone and Francophone conflict, and it's origins. The tour took about 2.5 hrs.
No photos were allowed in the museum, which was very frustrating. Photos were allow outside only. There was barely anything outside, except a few brass sculptures.
Blackitude Museum was okay, nothing great.
Blackitude limits the number of picture one can take. Only two pictures are allowed. WTF?
The Blackitude Museum is a private museum created in 2000 by Her Majesty Queen Nana Agnes who is the founder after receiving the important part of the collection from her father who was the traditional ruler of the Western Region in Cameroon.
