Boumba Bek National Park- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Boumba Bek National Park, located in southeastern Cameroon between the Boumba and Bek Rivers, spans a diverse landscape of semi-evergreen lowland rainforest, swamp forests, and grassy savannas. Established in 2005, the park is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including African forest elephants, chimpanzees, bongos, and forest antelopes, as well as over 300 fish species and numerous bird species that make it an Important Bird Area. Accessible primarily by pirogue and forest trails, the park also features unique forest clearings known as bais, which attract large mammals. Conservation efforts are ongoing to address challenges like poaching and habitat preservation.
