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

This eco-tourism package takes you to the discovery of the Dja Fauna Reserve, located in the South-East of Cameroon. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. We will meet the Ba'aka pygmy people, the oldest civilizations in Cameroon. They will immerse you in their world and you will discover their way of life, beliefs, and ancestral practices of these native people from village to village within the Dja reserve area. We shall discover amongst others a magnificent virgin forest, with giant trees, an extraordinary nature which shelters men, animals and the ecology. Walk through the several indescribable landscapes within the virgin rainforest with exceptional canopies formed by leaves and branches of triennial trees and be seduced by the sounds of birds, monkeys and other wild animals all day long. The Mefou Primates Sanctuary and the Residence of Dr. Eugene Jamot (who fought against sleeping sickness pandemic in Cameroon) at Ayos are also on the agenda.
