Mefou National Park, located about 45 minutes south of Yaoundé, is a sanctuary managed by Ape Action Africa, dedicated to the conservation of primates in Cameroon. The park provides a safe haven for gorillas, chimpanzees, drills, and mandrills rescued from the bushmeat trade, allowing them to live in semi-natural enclosures within the forest. Guided tours offer insights into the rehabilitation efforts and the challenges of wildlife conservation in the region.

    Great project, and wonderful to see all these monkeys in good health in spacious enclosures. Friendly and knowledgeable guide, who explained many things in French and English. The road there is not in great condition, but it is a very beautiful and scenic drive.

    The Mefou National Park, located some 30 kilometers away from Yaounde at just 25 minutes drive from the Yaounde Nsimalen International Airport is a semi-natural sanctuary where rescued apes like gorilla, chimpanzee and monkey are kept and nurtured.

    Place is very interesting, but better to book your tour in advance. Takes about one hour to have a tour and you will see different monkeys and gorillas. The road is not easy, you have to have a good car. Guides speak French and some English. It seems like there are so many forests in Cameroon, but monkeys are still endangered, good to see what actions are taken and to support this initiative.

    Nice animal conservatory with committed people. The road to get there is a bit a challenge but not an obstacle. The animals find here a safe place.
