Cameroon Highlights and Events
Travel in Cameroon with Intrepid
Everything you could hope for from Africa is waiting in Cameroon. Wildlife, jungles, perfect beaches, age-old traditions, music, mountains and plenty of adventure. Head out on safari to spot elephants and lions, or get to know the forest pygmies and nomadic cattle herders. Chill out on beautiful beaches, hit the colourful markets or get a taste of modern Africa in Douala. Whichever Africa you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Cameroon.

Cameroon's Top Picks
Cameroon’s name is derived from the Portuguese for ‘River of Prawns’
Top 5 ‘African’ moments in Cameroon
- Wildlife Spotting: Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife everywhere you go. While you might not always see an elephant; monkeys, aardvarks and tiny little bushbabies all call Cameroon home.
- Meeting Pygmies: Take the opportunity to meet these extraordinary people. Cameroon’s pygmy communities are traditionally nomadic hunter-gatherers. Learn about their traditional medicines and centuries-old culture.
- Breaking Down: It’s not an African adventure unless your car/van/truck breaks down. Usually in mud and often in the heart of the jungle. Pull up your sleeves, start pushing and think of all the street cred you’ll get back home.
- Chilling Out: Take some time out from the adventure to relax on one of Cameroon’s beautiful beaches. Choose from the white sands and well-to-do patrons of Kribi or lay back on the black volcanic sands of Limbe.
- Eating: Come for the seafood and stay for the stew. Cameroon’s cuisine is one of the most varied in Africa. You’ll find the familiar staples of corn, beans and millet alongside yams, cassava and, of course, plenty of seafood.
