What you will see
Yaoundé is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 10:43:27 local time, the Moon hides 1.8% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 10:11:35 and ends at 11:15:42, 1 h 4 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 63° above the horizon, towards the north-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Yaoundé.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,115 km north-east of Yaoundé.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Az Zuwaytīnah, about 3,144 km north, where totality lasts 2 m 32 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
