THE CROPS

The Adamaoua province is rich in interesting caves. These include the Hosseré de Tchoubal cave in the Tibati region, where it's possible to bivouac (coolness guaranteed); the Damougaré caves, former refuge of the Koutine people; and the Nyem Nyem caves, located on the summit of Mount Djim near Galim Tignéré, which served as a refuge for the Nyem Nyem people when they were fighting the Germans. Celebrations are now held every year to commemorate these events.

Also of note are the artisanal honey-producing areas of Bawoua and Ngaoundal, which are more easily accessible by train; the Damougaré caves, on the road 20 km from Tignère, a place of sacrifice for the Koutine people; and Lake Mbella Assom, a crater lake located one kilometer from the village of Assom. Served by a track laid out by the Ministry of Tourism, a pied-à-terre has been built here to accommodate water sports enthusiasts and hippo admirers. And let's not forget the thermal spring on the Mayo-Baléo road. The water is very hot, flowing from the plateaus at a temperature of 70°C.

Finally, on the way to Garoua, you can stop off at the large Bénoué National Park, 124 km from Ngaoundéré, where you can still admire the many species of animal that inhabit the reserve. On the same route, you can discover the Faro reserve and the Bouba Ndjida park, which are more difficult to access.
