Lobé, located near Kribi in Cameroon's South Region, is notable for its unique feature where the Lobé River cascades directly into the Atlantic Ocean. The falls span approximately 270 meters in width and have a height ranging from 10 to 17 meters. This natural site holds cultural significance for local communities, including the Batanga, Mabi, and Pygmy peoples, who associate the falls with various traditional rites. Visitors can explore the area by taking boat trips to view the waterfalls up close and enjoy fresh seafood at nearby eateries.

Not the greatest falls I’ve ever seen but it was definitely worth the visit. For a few bucks they will take you on a nice little boat ride to see the falls better and up close. There is also an island here where you can hang out on or get drinks and snacks if you so desire. I would recommend going if you are here anyway.

A nice tourist attraction. There's no entrance fee. Some guys standing at the entrance may ask you for money, but it’s not official and you're not obliged to pay.

One of the touristic attractions in Kribi, the falls are beautiful especially when visited in the canoe (at a fee). You can have a long walk, breakfast in any of the restaurants along the beach and watch as fishermen work. Peaceful..... serene

Beautiful place to visit. Beware of the local "guides" that are going to swarm you as soon as you get there. Don't pay more than 30k for whatever they're offering and even that amount is too much. Usually it includes boating by the falls and then crossing to the peninsula. Second part of the usual offering is a 1h30 pirogue trip on the Lobé river as well as visiting the pygmy village which we decided to skip as it's all fake.
