What the numbers say
In 2026, Cameroon has 8 nationwide public holidays and Congo has 11, so Congo gets 3 more days off. They line up on 5 dates, including New Year's Day, Labour Day, Ascension Day and Assumption Day.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Cameroon has 7 on working days (1 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Congo (4 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Cameroon offers 3 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Congo offers 4 and 2. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is May in Cameroon and May in Congo.
