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 have been to the Benue National Park several times with different groups of tourists and they were impressed by the wonders of nature found there. It is one of the oldest protected areas in Cameroon. It was first of all created as the Benue Fauna Reserve on the 11 of November 1932 before its enactment into a national park in 1968. In 1981, it was retained as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. It is located in north of the country and covers an area of 180, 000 hectares. It is characterized by wooded grassland with faunas such as hippo, Derby's Eland, elephant, cob, hyena, waterbuck, warthog and monkeys. But sure to cut off from the rest of the world ass the lodges of this park don't have running water, internet and electricity. You will enjoy real adventure!
