DOUALA-BUEA-MONT-CAMEROON
Very early departure from Douala for Buea. Arrival and start of the preparation of the circuit and breakfast. Departure at 8:30 a.m. too late, break at refuge 1 (1850 m) The ascent begins very early! Departing from Buea, transfer to the starting point, 1,000 meters away, in the middle of the tropical forest. The first slopes are quite gentle, and a humid heat envelops us as we admire the magnificent trees and the first black lava flows. Behind us, much lower down, are the black beaches of Limbé, a small fishing port and seaside resort. On the side, Mount Etindé, the "little Mount Cameroon", announces the volcanic atmosphere of this summit. Then, leaving the forest, a mysterious mist covers the sides of the mountain again, the summit is still not visible, and the contrasts are very strong between the black volcanic earth and the tufts of very green grass. The slope straightens; we finally arrive at the second refuge, which we pass to set up camp near the source of Man's Spring. Dinner and overnight in tents. 6 hours walk. M: 1,350m. D: 700m.
