UNCOVERING CAMEROON

Uncovering Cameroon:

Cameroon, the opposites of all earthy wonders. From the highest peak in West Africa, white sand beaches, thick rainforests, 250 provincial languages and an energetic volcano. 

The country prides itself on the richness of the landscape which is complemented by having a boundary of six distinguishable African counties while resting on the Atlantic shoreline. The best part of West Africa is that even though Cameroon is the second most biodiverse nation in Africa - it is not plagued by many tourists which means the country is the perfect antidote for authenticity, culture and untamed magnificence. Here are some of our suggestions on what to do in Cameroon:  

1. Lobéké National Park 

Located in the extreme South-East of Cameroon and is certainly one of the most underrated wildlife experiences in Africa. There are no flashy lodge signs or hotel banners swaying in the air - the Lobeke National Park is as remote as it gets. As treacherous as it all sounds (for some), the experience is completely different from the usual East or Southern African Safaris as you will be in a lush tropical rainforest that shelters lowland gorillas, forest elephants, chimpanzees and semi-aquatic antelope. 

2. Mount Cameroon 

The “Mountain of Greatness” aka Mongo ma Ndemi holds the highest peak in Sub-Saharan Western and Central Africa. This mountain is made up of an active volcano, natural vegetation that varies with each elevation and fauna of wildlife. If you are a hiker at heart, this is the most satisfactory route to explore the true volcanic spirit of Western Africa. 

3. Limbe Beach 
Limbe is the main coastal city of Cameroon but the beach is still retained in its original atmosphere. With its famous black volcanic sand, delicate waves, the abundance of monumental palm trees and distant mountains; the Cameroon Coast offers seaside ambience and the most flavorful seafood! 


4. Alantika Mountains 
Take a brief walk into the lives of an ancient ethnic group and be transported back into time by the Koma people. The Koma are a relatively primitive hill-dwelling ethnic group that had refused to be sanctioned by colonial governments and took refugee in the Alantika mountains. The Koma are set in tradition yet welcome visitors openly!
