Kribi beach.
Kribi beaches are stunning
with white sand, surrounding
the blue sea. There are plenty
of hotels in the Kribi area and
most are reasonably priced.
C
ameroun is an ideal tourist des-
tination in Africa and has a
good record of security. The
people are very welcoming to strang-
ers.
It is a good destination for sea and
beach loving visitors, with about 400
km of the Atlantic coast stretching
along part of the country. Kribi and
Limbe towns are the highest points
of attraction for tourism on the coast.
From these coasts, tourists can also
carry out inland tourism to other des-
tinations.
In Kribi, there is an excellent beach
of white sand extending over a large
area with coconut trees from time to
time appearing on the scenery. The
contact between the Ocean and the
sea is also an extraordinary site to see.
Another wonder of Kribi is found in the
south where a number of cascades
of about 30 m high have given rise to
waterfalls, the most spectacular being
the Lobe fall which issues out directly
into the Atlantic Ocean. From Lobe,
further visits on boats and canoes
will take you to the discovery of the
Pygmies of the equatorial Forest.
The Limbe region is close to Douala
and has a splendid site marked by the
mount Cameroun which dominates
the Atlantic region of Cameroun. The
road linking the coast to Douala pass-
es along magnificent plantations of
rubber, palms and bananas. The geol-
ogy of the coastal area is generally
characterized by a large expanse of
grey sand.
There is a high diversity of most fauna
and flora species found in Africa,
with some that can only be found in
Cameroun. There are presently nine
national parks serving as a safe haven
for wildlife in its natural state. These
are areas of safari in which visitors can
observe, take photos and feel the
presence of animals in nature.
The Waza National Park is the most
visit
