What Guests Should Know

Benoue National Park is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. Game drives reveal elephants grazing in the savannah, lions resting under acacia trees, hippos wallowing in the river, and antelopes darting across open plains. The Benoue River is a central attraction, offering boat rides where visitors can observe crocodiles, hippos, and aquatic birds in their natural habitat. Birdwatchers will be delighted by the park’s diversity, with more than 300 species recorded, including kingfishers, hornbills, and eagles.

The park’s landscapes are equally captivating, with rolling savannahs, gallery forests, and dramatic rocky hills that make for excellent photography. Beyond wildlife, guests can engage with local communities around the park, experiencing traditional dances, crafts, and cuisine that reflect the cultural richness of northern Cameroon.

Entry Requirements

Travelers to Cameroon must hold a valid passport and obtain a visa before arrival. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory, and additional vaccinations such as typhoid and hepatitis A are recommended. It is advisable to carry travel insurance that covers medical emergencies and safari activities. Visitors should also ensure they have the necessary documentation for entry into protected areas, which Luxecam Tours Ltd will assist in arranging.

Safety and Preparation

Benoue National Park is safe for tourists, but preparation is key to enjoying the experience:

Clothing and Gear: Wear light, breathable clothing suitable for the savannah climate, along with sturdy shoes for walking safaris.
Essentials: Carry insect repellent, sunscreen, hats, and binoculars for wildlife viewing.
Hydration: Bring bottled water and snacks, as facilities inside the park are limited.
Respect for Nature: Follow park rules, avoid disturbing wildlife, and travel with professional guides.
Guided Tours: Luxecam Tours Ltd ensures safe navigation, expert insights, and access to the best safari spots.

Best Time to Visit Benoue National Park

The best time to visit Benoue National Park is during the dry season, from November to April, when wildlife is easier to spot around water sources and trails are more accessible. This period is ideal for game drives, river cruises, and photography. The rainy season, from May to October, transforms the park into a lush green paradise, perfect for birdwatching and nature enthusiasts, though wildlife viewing may be more challenging due to dense vegetation and muddy paths.
