Buea

Overview

Introduction

Set amid pine groves at an elevation of 3,165 ft/965 m, Buea is a resort town whose main attractions are its scenic backdrop, Mt. Cameroon (the tallest mountain in West Africa), and its cool climate, a relief from the heat and humidity below. Plan to stay a couple of days, though hikers may want to add extra days to climb Mt. Cameroon (13,354 ft/4,073 m). 35 mi/55 km west of Douala.
