from
CFA0

From the exciting and cosmopolitan city of Yaoundé in Central Africa, you will have the opportunity to explore more of Cameroon’s history, culture, and daily life. For those who do not have a lot of time but would be interested in a short trek up a mountain, experiencing different cities and villages, and beautiful waterfalls, this is perfect!

This three night, four-day tour is an ideal way of getting out and experiencing the sights, smells, and sounds of this western Cameroon, and its surroundings. There is a lot of driving involved over the course of the trip, however, this is also a great opportunity to experience the beauty of the Cameroonian landscape.

All about the Dschang and the Chief’s Palace.

Magnificently endowed by nature, the West region was often compared to the Auvergne region in France.

It is a hilly region crisscrossed by beautiful rivers often sectioned by waterfalls. The West presents a series of rounded off mountains resulting from old volcanoes. The climate here is moderated with two main seasons: a dry season from October-November till March-April and a rainy season beginning in March-April to end in October-November. The annual average temperature in certain localities such as Dschang and Bangou is just about 200C. Land of traditions and culture, the West region is characterized by the wealth of its handcraft and arts and their many forms of expression: pipes, clay utensils, copper masks and figurines, stools decorated with pearls and the bamiléké dancers in their picturesque costumes. Foumban is widely considered the capital of Cameroonian handicraft. The West region presents striking tourism resources with its green landscapes along plains and valleys in addition to its rich cultural diversity.
