13 Day Cameroon Itinerary, incl. Yaoundé and Lobéké National Park
This 13-day wilderness immersion offers 7 nights forest camping and 2 nights in hotels. Travelers spend 5 days with Baka Pygmies learning forest skills, 3 days observing wildlife in Lobéké National Park, with overnight stops in Lomié and Yokadouma.
- Day 1
Yaoundé
Start in Cameroon's capital at Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport. Exchange money right at the airport since CFA francs aren't easy to get outside the country. The trip to your hotel is about 45 minutes but can stretch longer if you hit rush hour between 4-7 PM.
- Day 2
Yaoundé to Lomié (8-9 hours)
Leave early for your drive through Cameroon's equatorial forest via Ayos and Abong-Mbang. The roads can be rough during rainy season from March to November so bring motion sickness medicine if you need it. You'll see beautiful forest views but bathroom stops will be basic.
- Days 3-5
Pygmy Village Immersion
Take a short trek from Lomié to your first pygmy camp. Pack light since you'll sleep in provided tents. You'll learn traditional forest skills like net hunting and collecting honey. Wear quick-dry clothes for the intense morning humidity. At night you can watch traditional Buma dances around the campfire.
- Days 6-7
Second Pygmy Community
Walk to another Baka community deeper in the forest. The trails get slippery after rain so good hiking boots are important. You'll see how palm wine is made and learn traditional fire-starting. Bring a light fleece for cool evenings.
- Days 8-9
Lobéké National Park
Travel to Mambélé to enter Lobéké. Getting to the park requires a 4km drive plus a 6km forest walk. The observation platforms give you great spots to see wildlife particularly early or late in the day. Bring binoculars to spot lowland gorillas and forest elephants.
- Days 10-11
Wildlife Viewing
Visit two observation points: Petite Savane and Djangui. Start at dawn for the best wildlife watching. The hiking trails to the platforms are moderate but get muddy in the rain. Pack snacks since meals at base camp are on a set schedule.
- Days 12-13
Return to Yaoundé
Break up the long drive back with an overnight stop. Plan to reach Yaoundé in the afternoon on the last day to avoid traffic if you have an evening flight.
11 Day Cameroon Itinerary, incl. Yaoundé and Lobéké National Park
A comprehensive 11-day route from Yaoundé to Lobéké Park delivers 4 days of wildlife viewing, 2 nights at Djangui watchtower, and 2 nights at Djembe bungalows. Carefully planned stops ensure comfortable forest transitions.
- Day 1
Yaoundé Arrival
Your guide will meet you at Yaoundé Nsimalen International Airport to help with currency exchange and customs. The capital sits at 750m elevation with a mild climate. You'll stay in the Bastos district, a secure area known for its diplomatic presence.
- Day 2
Yaoundé to Lomié (8-9 hours)
Leave early to travel through Cameroon's equatorial forest via Ayos and Abang Bang. Pack motion sickness medication as roads can be rough during rainy season (March-November). Stay overnight at Hotel Raphia in Lomié, a basic but clean accommodation.
- Day 3
Lomié to Mambele via Yokadouma
Spend the full day traveling deeper into the forest with stops at Baka Pygmy villages. You'll need 4x4 vehicles for the dirt roads. Reach Camp Kombo in Mambele by evening for your last night in regular accommodation before camping.
- Days 4-5
Lobéké National Park - Petite Savane
Travel to Lobéké (4km drive + 6km trek). Bring good hiking boots for muddy forest trails. The first watchtower gives you great views of the salt marsh where forest elephants and lowland gorillas gather. Sleep in provided tents.
- Days 6-7
Djangui Area
Walk to the second watchtower at Djangui and set up camp for two nights. Watch for wildlife early morning and late afternoon. The canopy is full of birds including African grey parrots and green pigeons. Your guide will help spot western lowland gorillas, forest buffalo and the occasional bongo antelope.
- Days 8-9
Djembe Section
Travel 104km within the park to Djembe's permanent structures. The basic bungalows offer a welcome break from camping. Few visitors reach this remote area, increasing your chances of seeing undisturbed wildlife. Look for sitatunga antelope in the nearby clearing.
- Day 10
Return to Yokadouma
Start early for the trip back. Stop in Mambele for a traditional lunch and try the local ndolé if available. Spend the night in Yokadouma where you can enjoy a hot shower and proper bed.
- Day 11
Return to Yaoundé
Take the long drive back to the capital (10-12 hours). A previous traveler shared: "The wildlife viewing exceeded expectations but come prepared for basic conditions. The trackers' knowledge of the forest was incredible - they could spot gorillas I would have completely missed."
- Days 1-2
Yaoundé and Batoufam Region
Begin your journey in Yaoundé, Cameroon's capital spread across seven hills. Visit the National Museum in the former presidential palace early to avoid crowds. On day two visit the Batoufam Chefferie before noon to catch traditional morning ceremonies. Remember to pack modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees when visiting the chief's residence.
- Days 3-4
Foumban and Ekom Nkam Falls
Visit Foumban's new museum and market in the morning when vendors display their best handicrafts. Plan afternoon visits to Bororo Muslim villages with respect for local customs. Women should wear long skirts or pants. At Ekom Nkam Falls wear shoes with good grip since viewing paths get slippery, particularly during rainy season from April to November.
- Days 5-6
Coastal Cameroon
Start at the Pongo Songo Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Bring binoculars to spot chimps in their habitat. Head to Kribi's fish market at 6:30 AM when boats arrive with fresh catch. Visit Lobe Falls between 3-4 PM for the best photo opportunities in perfect lighting.
- Day 7
Transit to Central African Republic
Book morning flights from Douala to Bangui to avoid common afternoon thunderstorms during wet season. Bring USD in cash since Bangui's ATMs aren't always reliable.
- Days 8-9
River Journey and Baka Village
Pack sun protection and waterproof bags for the 4-hour pirogue ride to Zinga. Bring small CFA franc bills to buy handicrafts in the Baka village. A recent visitor shared: "The Baka dance performance was incredibly moving—the complex rhythms and traditional songs tell stories of forest life. Just remember to ask permission before taking photos."
- Days 10-11
Boali Falls and Departure
See Boali Falls in the morning when mist creates rainbows in the water. The 80km drive from Bangui takes about 2 hours on rough roads. You'll need a 4x4 during rainy season. Book your final airport transfer early since taxis can be hard to find.
