Picture yourself arriving in a zone so trampled by thousands of elephants that it’s visible from space, witnessing the parades of those majestic animals for a few hours, and continuing deep into the jungle to encounter lowland gorillas in their natural habitat. Imagine driving through the rainforest for hundreds of kilometres, and then being welcomed with open arms in pygmy villages. That’s travelling in its purest form; that’s what we offer you during our Cameroon and the Central African Republic Adventure.
Always at the forefront of adventure tourism, YPT designed this trop with the aim of combining adventure, cultural immersion, and natural beauty.
Your journey begins in Yaoundé, the largest and capital city of Cameroon, and heads right to the charming town of Bertoua to experience life outside the city. You’ll continue on a less frequented trail to Yokadouma, a city only visited by workers who seek resources from the rich jungle.
You’ll continue along the dirt roads until you reach the Sangha River, where you’ll take a boat to cross into CAR. The program continues along the river at the foothills of Dzanga-Sangha Special Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, described as one of the best national parks in Africa. Considering the stunning landscapes of the region, we might as well say it’s one of the best in the world!
Here, you’ll get to experience the natural beauty of Central Africa, seeing herds of elephants, families of lowland gorillas, agile mangabeys, and much more. This is a tour where you learn and witness how people can live in harmony with nature and will engage with the indigenous communities, learning about their way of life, traditional practices, and folklore.
After experiencing the natural beauty of Dzanga-Sangha, we’ll take the motor boat back into Cameroon and journey back to the capital whilst stopping at small villages along the way. We’ll embrace our final night in true YPT style in Yaoundé celebrating the end of our beautiful journey together!
This trip fits perfectly with our Untamed Gabon Adventure, for a deeper exploration of the region.
