/ Jamaica
Dream beaches, reggae and Caribbean energy
Jamaica is sunshine, white sand, turquoise water and a way of life set to reggae. Birthplace of Bob Marley, the island breathes music, good cheer and spicy food that will instantly speak to a Cameroonian palate. Montego Bay and Negril line up some of the Caribbean's finest beaches, while the Blue Mountains offer hiking and famous coffee. The trip from Cameroon is long and needs a visa, but the warm welcome and unique vibe make it a memorable getaway.
