This 3 days and 2 nights tour will give you the opportunity to be immersed in nature and come out from the hustling and bustling of city life as we shuttle between Mefou, Mbalmayo, Ebogo, Nkolandom, and Yaounde.

The Ebogo Ecotourism site, an excellent village for nature goers, offers you canoe ride along the Nyong River to visit a 300 year old tree. This village can be described as a veritable relaxation haven since in the quietness of nature one can listen to the sound of birds in the horizon and admire the variety of mangrove trees swing as the wind blows. You will have to taste freshwater fish caught here and sleep in the ecolodges built in this ecotouristic village. An hour drive will permit you to reach Ebolowa described as ‘’the land of the rotten chimpanzee’’, where the former Germano-Kamerunian Captain, Martin Paul Samba was murdered. A city tour to see the place of assassination of this national hero shall do, before continuation to Nkolandom ‘’the mountain of elegance’’, a marvellous ecotourist site situated some 18km from Ebolowa along the Mekomo – Ambam highways. There, you will be able to breathe the pure air of the rainforest again, take pleasure in escaping the daily cares of life, come out of your daily routines, come out from stress and be healed from the sickness of your soul. You will sleep in an environment where there is a juxtaposition of antiquity and modernity.
