Family Cameroon: Beaches, Animals and Waterfalls

Eight days of family adventure in Cameroon combining the Limbe primate sanctuary, the golden beaches of Kribi and the Ekom-Nkam waterfalls, adapted for all ages.

8 days1 countryDecember to March (sunny beaches and a calm sea)

Description

This eight-day family itinerary begins in Douala with the central market and the waterfront promenade. You travel to Limbe to visit the Wildlife Center, where children and adults see rescued gorillas and chimpanzees while learning about conservation. The black volcanic-sand beaches offer natural playgrounds. The route continues south to Kribi, Cameroon's best beach destination, with golden sand and calm waters. You visit Lobe Falls, where the waterfall drops straight into the ocean. Beach days alternate with visits to cacao plantations. The grand finale is the Ekom-Nkam falls, the setting of the Tarzan movie, with an 260-ft drop in the middle of the rainforest. Nature, beach and culture without sacrificing comfort.
