I am a Tourism entrepreneur and excellent full time tour guide, licensed by the Cameroon Ministry of Tourism & Leisure, with plus 10 years' experience in the field of tourism and hospitality. I am the vice national president of the Cameroon Association of Tourist Guides, a fellow of the World Federation of Tourist Guides Associations (WFTGA), an organ of the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO). I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Geography (2007), a Professional Degree in Tourism & Hospitality (2009) and a Master's I Degree in Ecotourism Management (2010), all obtained from the University of Yaounde I. I conceive and conduct tours in both the English and French languages of various themes such as: hunting expeditions, wildlife safaris, photographic shootings, nature and beach adventures, cultural and sporting expeditions in Cameroon and the CEMAC countries. I have a lot of passion in adventure tourism, traditional, cultural and beach tourism. I like meeting new people. Most often, they come as clients and go back as friends and come again by the confidence and satisfaction they derive from the service quality we render. I am always available to render my services to my guests but for security reasons would not travel from one destination to another in the night except for 'City tours by night'. I look forward to welcoming you to Cameroon, "Africa in miniature" and making you achieve your goal and feel as a local in the shortest possible time.

Overview of your Yaounde tour

I conceived this ethnographic tour with the aim of permitting my guests to discover some authentic tribes and cultures of Cameroon so that they experience the day to day lifestyles of the peoples and then learn about their customs and traditions. The Koma, the Foulbe (Fulani), the Namchi also known as the Dowayo, the Fulani (Bororo) and the Ba'Aka Pygmies people will be the centre of attraction for this tour. In each of these tribes, we shall discover the day to day way of life and customs of the people. We will visit two unforgettable and unique tourist regions of Cameroon (the grand south and the grand north), whose magnificent landscapes (from the tropical rainforest through the shrubs, dry wooden savannah to the grassy savannah and mountain vegetation) will permit you to be immersed in a Cameroonian atmosphere.
