“We travelled in Cameroon for several weeks. We arrived in Cameroon by boat coming from the Dzanga Sangha National Park in the Central African Republic. Dan picked us up on the shore of the Sangha river in Lobéké National Park. Together with our driver Antoine we then travelled north and finally left the jungle behind us. We first drove to the Cameroonian capital city of Yaoundé and then on to the Ring Road area, where we stayed for quite a while. We visited Lake Nyos and several traditional kingdoms there. Very knowledgeable guide and so we learned a lot about the background of all the different topics. The last days of our Cameroon holiday we spent on the beach. First in Limbé and then in Kribi. Altogether it was a wonderful time...I really can recommend. From others we heard he is considered to be the best tourist guide in Cameroon.”
