Overview

More than an adventure, an experience in an unknown land. Go far from the crowds, towards preserved and little-known destinations! Go to the Far North of Cameroon where local cultures, wild nature and tranquility come together to ensure unforgettable holidays to unexplored destinations.
The Far North is one of the regions of Cameroon which offers one of the best panoramas of the country. Set off to discover its most famous jewel: the spectacular peaks of Rhumsiki; unique volcanic formations located on the border with Nigeria and composed of volcanic rocks that rise vertically in the middle of a semi-desert landscape. Then set off on an expedition to discover the hippos of Maga.
Whether you are a lover of wilderness, local culture or simply looking for tranquility, the Far North of Cameroon is the promise of a reality that far exceeds imagination.

You will be able to sail in a canoe on the peaceful waters of Lake Maga which will offer you a unique perspective to observe the fascinating population of Maga hippos in their natural habitat. Continue your journey by visiting the local periodic market (if you are there on a Tuesday): an important meeting place for populations where you can discover local crafts, fresh products, and experience the excitement of daily life. Following this experience, the day continues with an immersion in the tourist village of Pouss. On the program is a visit to the famous Musgum huts (traditional cone-shaped dwellings) which constitute a real heritage and architectural wealth of the region and make the village famous.
