A Journey Through Africa’s Mighty Volcano

Mount Cameroon, known locally as Mongo ma Ndem (“Mountain of Greatness”), is more than just the highest peak in West Africa. It’s a living giant—an active volcano towering over 4,000 meters above sea level, wrapped in rainforest, mystery, and legends.

As you ascend, the environment changes dramatically—from dense tropical forest and rich birdlife to rocky lava fields and windy alpine zones. It feels like trekking through several worlds in a single day.

A Trail Rich in Nature and History

Along the way, you’ll learn about the local Bakweri communities who have lived at the mountain’s base for centuries. Your guide may share folklore passed down through generations, and you’ll even spot rare species like the Mount Cameroon brush-furred rat and vibrant butterflies unique to the region.

For thrill seekers, the annual Mount Cameroon Race of Hope is a stunning spectacle where elite runners sprint up and down the mountain in hours.
