Looking for an unforgettable ecotourism adventure in Cameroon? This guided tour from Douala takes you deep into one of Cameroon’s top ecotourism destinations — the Chimpanzee Islands of Mouanko — where you’ll observe rescued chimpanzees thriving in a protected natural habitat.
Your journey begins with a convenient hotel or home pickup in Douala. On the way to Mouanko, you’ll visit Marienberg, the site of Cameroon’s first belt Catholic church — a stunning historic landmark nestled in lush greenery.
From there, you’ll embark on a peaceful boat cruise through the mangroves to reach the sanctuary islands. Here, you’ll witness chimpanzees from the safety of your boat as they roam freely, play, and interact — a rare and moving experience that connects you with nature in its purest form.
For ethical and safety reasons, visitors are not allowed to step on the island or directly interact with the primates. This ensures the animals remain undisturbed and protected.
By joining this tour, you’re not only enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime experience — you’re also supporting vital conservation efforts to protect these beautiful and endangered creatures.
