Mbam Djerem National Park- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Mbam Djerem National Park, established in 2000, covers over 4,200 square kilometers in central Cameroon, straddling the ecotone between tropical forest and savanna ecosystems. This unique location creates a rich diversity of habitats, ranging from gallery forests and rainforests to bush and open grass savannas. The park is home to a wide array of wildlife, including chimpanzees, hippos, elephants, various antelope species, and over 360 bird species. Seasonal variations dramatically shape the landscape, with dry-season bushfires and river dependency impacting animal movements. The Djerem River, which flows through the park, provides both a lifeline for the wildlife and a scenic backdrop for visitors.
