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