Safari in the Lobéké National Park & Pygmies

“Meet the local people, Safari, culture & Beach”.
Most tourists disembark at Douala or Yaoundé, Cameroon’s two largest airports, before continuing their treks into the equatorial forest of East Cameroon, where a change of scenery and adventure await them. Here, gorillas and chimpanzees compete for the forest with pygmies, considered to be Cameroon’s oldest inhabitants. In the giant equatorial forest where the Baka’a pygmies live, musicians to the core, immerse yourself in the world of these little men who will perform their ritual Buma dance for you, describing their life among the animals of the forest. You’ll have the chance to take part in their village activities.
Located in the province of East Cameroon, the Lobéké National Park, part of the Congo Basin, is situated in the extreme south-east of Cameroon. It covers an area of 217,854 ha. Created on 19 March 2001, the Park is managed as part of the cross-border conservation initiative known as the Tri national de la Sangha (TNS). In addition to the Lobéké National Park, this priority landscape for biodiversity conservation includes the protected areas of Dzangha-Sangha (CAR) and Nouabalé-Nkoki (Congo Brazzaville). Lobéké has a network of marshy clearings, particularly on the eastern flank of the park, offering Safari enthusiasts the chance to film elephants, gorillas and chimpanzee monkeys, thanks to the miradors available in the Park, set up near the natural salt pans (or bays) to observe the animals.
