Beach and Pygmy Village in Cameroon

Still a nation neglected by tourism as it is often left off the tourist guidebook yet some would refer to Cameroon as Africa’s throbbing heartbeat. A torrid montage of steamy jungles, unworldly rock formations, postcard worthy beaches and not to mention the largest group of hunter-gatherers remaining on earth. Our tailor-made 6-day itinerary is like a high-def camera focusing in on the great detail that this magical equatorial country serves up. Visiting the legendary “pygmy” clan known as the “forest people” or “the dancing dwarfs of the god from the land of spirits” while highlighting the seaside paradise of Kribi where rivers and waterfalls gracefully flow to the oceans edge.
