Though it's not the capital, Douala is the largest city in Cameroon and it is the economic port for the country. Douala is mainly an industrial city but you'll find a few good attractions for sight-seeing too.
There is no place better to cool off than a water park, and you can find slides and rides for the whole family here at the Douala Water Park!
Douala-Edea Reserve
The Douala-Edea Reserve is a small wildlife park not far from Douala and it’s home to a diverse number of African animals. You’ll find species such as the forest elephant, chimpanzee, antelopes, and water animals like the manatee and dolphin along the Sanaga River.
Korup National Park
North of Douala is a larger rainforest park that is probably the best known in the country. The drive there can be a bit of a challenge as some of the roads aren't paved but the beautiful landscape once you are there makes it worth the trip. More than 400 species of bird live in the park area, as well as populations of monkeys, chimpanzees, and many kinds of reptiles. You can walk through the park, or take a boat tour that goes through the mangroves and smaller rivers of the area.
Mount Cameroon
Mount Cameroon isn't just a mountain, it’s also an active volcano. That makes it twice as interesting as a tourist attraction in Douala. You can take a hike right to the top, but because the path doesn't wind around the mountain, you'll need to be in good shape to handle the rather steep ascent. There are a lot of steps carved into the rock to help you along your way.
Douala Museum
The Douala Museum is a historical museum in the south-west part of the city where you can see more about Cameroon's history, particularly the Bamoun and Bamileke people. It's housed in the city hall building, and there are several collections of artwork, carvings and sculptures.
Bonaberi Bridge
Douala is divided by the Wouri River, and the Bonabei Bridge is the main crossing point. There are some pedestrian walkways around the bridge, and it's a nice spot to get some views of the river.
