Tribal Lands of Cameroon

The jungles of Central Africa have forever been a mysterious land, difficult to penetrate and home to bewildering array of flora and fauna that will have nature enthusiasts salivating. This unique tour

takes you on an incredible journey where nature rules supreme and the presence of man often seems insignificant, surrounded by thick rainforest alive with the calls of birds and monkeys.

First we start in Douala, and head west to explore the tribal kingdoms of the Bamileke and Bamoun, some of the region’s greatest artisans and with a vibrant and rich culture to explore. From here we head to the capital Yaounde, then continue south to a village of the Fang people. Here we are privileged to witness an authentic Bwiti ceremony, a spiritual ritual based around used of the psychoactive iboga root and one of the region’s most fascinating sights.

After some time spent on the coast at Kribiwe venture into the forest to spend time with the Badgeli pygmies, camping within their community and learning about the numerous ways in which they have mastered the jungle, and also visit the chimpanzee sanctuary of Pongo Songo and Lake Ossa, home to the West African manatee.

This trip offers the chance to see Africa at its wildest, where nature rules supreme and the jungle is king. This is not an easy journey, with some long drives, bad roads, limited infrastructure and the often infuriating bureaucracy of Central Africa to deal with along the way. But who said real adventure was ever easy? Join us to discover lost worlds, ancient traditions and the magic of the rainforest.
