About this journey

What to expect on this trip

Between the mighty Congo Basin and the Atlantic Ocean lies a land of untainted equatorial rainforest where rare primates still roam, and local communities pass on timeless skills in villages little changed for centuries.

To explore this remarkable country through a carefully planned Cameroon tour is to truly immerse yourself in its rich and vibrant culture, meeting deeply welcoming people and witnessing natural wonders that leave a lasting impression.

From volcanic mountain ridges and broad, glassy rivers to dense forest canopies alive with rare wildlife and golden, palm-fringed beaches, Cameroon is a destination that quietly steals your heart.

The highlights

  • Ekom Waterfalls & Manengouba Mountains

    A picnic lunch stop at Ekom village rewards travellers with views of the 80-metre Ekom Waterfalls. The route continues through agricultural plantations of rubber, banana, cocoa and coffee before reaching the base of the Manengouba Mountains. A palm oil mill and tropical flower plantation are also visited along the way.

  • Bamileke Chief's Palace & Foumban Royal Heritage

    Travellers tour a traditional Bamileke chief's palace in Baham before continuing to Foumban, renowned for its excellent traditional crafts, rich history, good museums and a superb royal palace. Key heritage sites throughout Foumban are explored, reflecting the deep cultural legacy of the Bamoun people.

  • Mectchie Waterfalls & Bororo Village

    A visit to a Bororo village provides insight into rural lifestyles, with a focus on women's butter production and braiding skills. The group then visits the sacred Mectchie waterfalls, a site where Bamileke people make traditional sacrifices. The night is spent at the chief's palace in Batoufam

  • Mefou Primate Sanctuary & Nyong River

    The Mefou Primate Sanctuary, caring for rescued and orphaned chimpanzees and gorillas, is visited en route to the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve. In Ebogo, a pirogue journey on the Nyong River is followed by rainforest walks to explore medicinal plants. Together these activities form a full day of wildlife and rainforest immersion close to Yaounde.

  • Two Days with the Ba'Aka at Dja Reserve

    Two full days are spent in the Ba'Aka village of Matisson, immersing in a unique and complex culture through forest walks, traditional hunting techniques and local folklore. Accommodation is in basic village huts, reflecting the remote and authentic nature of the experience. The Dja Reserve setting provides the backdrop for this deep encounter with one of Cameroon's indigenous forest communities

  • Douala-Edea Reserve & Pongo Songo Island

    The Douala-Edea reserve is home to the endangered Central Chimpanzee, one of West Africa's most threatened primates. A boat excursion to Pongo Songo Island allows close observation of adult chimpanzees in their habitat. This wildlife encounter forms one of the final conservation highlights of the tour.

Common questions

Things travellers usually ask

    Maximum 12 travellers — that's the cap on every Undiscovered Destinations small-group tour. Small enough to eat in a local family home; large enough to share the wonder with other like-minded travellers.

  • Can I travel solo?

    Yes, solo travellers are welcome on every small-group tour. A private single room is offered on every trip, with the single-room supplement listed alongside the departure price. If you’d rather share, you can opt for a twin room with another solo traveller of the same gender. Around 60% of UD travellers come solo, so you’ll be in good company.
