1. Limbe: Coastal Charms and Botanical Wonders

Limbe, very much a lively coastal town, really gives visitors a calming escape with nice ocean breezes and views. What makes it especially notable? The Limbe Botanic Garden, naturally! That garden bursts with a really wide assortment of plant species; walking through it kind of feels like a total adventure through nature itself. So you might be really into watching birds or simply enjoy seeing various types of beautiful plants, you could literally spend hours in this scenic area. The town’s sandy shorelines, almost offering views of the Atlantic, are nice spots too just to unwind.

2. Ekom-Nkam Waterfalls: Majestic Natural Spectacle

The Ekom-Nkam Waterfalls are that place a good distance from Bafang in West Cameroon are truly an amazing sight. Actually, that sight showcases two rivers meeting to thunder off cliffs into misty plunges. They served, pretty much, as backgrounds in the old film *Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes*. Even though getting there requires a somewhat bumpy ride and hike, watching such powerful falls very close is really rewarding. The local areas surrounding the falls let you see that kind of natural setting in Cameroon and offer nice picture spots; actually, those falls will leave that impact, I assure you.

3. Mount Cameroon: Challenging Hike, Rewarding Views

Mount Cameroon, or ‘Mongo ma Ndemi’ (‘Mountain of Greatness’) to the local people, towers over the region and is the that highest peak in West Africa. Granted a full climb, basically stretching some days is for experienced hikers, shorter jaunts get people lovely scenery. Trekking part way means different stuff like cool forests, open grasslands, and so on and the further up one goes the cooler the environment is. Just keep looking all around – from up high, basically everything is gorgeous including, the countryside and shoreline meeting each other and the nice blue Atlantic – and definitely photo-worthy.

Those interested very, very deeply in Cameroon’s eco side will love going to Dja Faunal Reserve that’s, honestly, an enormous chunk that hasn’t been ruined, and has just so much forest to visit as part of just one day trip although that means needing some planning in advance to definitely find transport sorted, yet doing the planning really would open one up towards what looks and seems untouched by outside development in central Africa – plants including animals from so far before. A great spot definitely.
