Trekking, walking and discovery on the Atlantika mountains. Best place for Cameroon tourism, Rhumsiki is situated in an extraterrestrial landscape created by volcanic dykes. In the horizon, you will discover the chain of Mandara Mountains: dreamlike vision. During these few days of trekking, discovery of the Koma tribes- from village to village and mountain to mountain (between 1400 and 1700 m) through enchanting landscapes; discovering lifestyles, beliefs and traditions and ancestral practices of these people. This is a great moment in the discovery of the culture of north Cameroon!

Day long trekking and walks to various villages, who have kept the ancestral touch with an exceptional Lebru, Naga Malou traditional architecture, where people are still in the past despite western civilization. Night under the tent.
There is no static itinerary because, according to the activities of the various villages, we wish to meet unique tribes like Komas, and to discover places where traditional life is still lived.
Dressed in G-strings made of leaves, women smoke pipes and live peaceful lives cultivating the land with their men, whom we see moving around with their arms ( bows, spears, assegai) across the shoulders. We pass through Bimilerou, Balangi,Sinlli and Guelba villages.
A river is flowing through this mountain and according to its flow, a swim is possible! Every evening, we put up camp in the Lamido’s saré and may pass some time with the inhabitants humbly and respectfully.
Morning wake; breakfast and departure for trekking in the villages and meeting with the Koma people in Bakipa, Dini, Wippi and Singli. Koma people have a special way of celebrating certain occasions: after the ingestion of a particular plant, there are dances with very scatological sounds… we are in the town of the legendary Koma farters! Dinner and night under the tent… 5 to 6 hours of walking a day.
Morning wake- after breakfast .We go down through the Bororo village to our point of departure; Wangay, where we will rest and have lunch in the shade of the saré. Then we return to the track for 2 hours then leave for the Fignolé Catholic Mission. We will retrace our steps and pass through the Faro reserve to watch birds and animals. On arrival, we will visit the centre and the village. A water point will enable us to take a bath before the evening meal under big mango trees. Dinner and night under the tent.
Morning wake- breakfast- leave Garoua for Ngaoundere- spend a whole day in the car- you will have the opportunity to admire the sahelian landscape of north Cameroon and meet with the cattle herds along the way- arrival and settling in…
Morning wake and breakfast- then visit the Tello Falls, situated in the vicinity then visit the Lamido’s palace, the oldest and most organized in the great north region in old traditions- the north has uncountable cultural marvels. In the Muslim town of Ngaoundere, we have the Lamido’s palace, a very big saré with huts made of straw and shaped like mushrooms- these will make your stay. The elegance and noble nature of the guards in turbans and dressed in colourful big boubous give this special town a legendary atmosphere. With a little luck, you will take part in the fantasias- departure to the train station and board a train for Yaoundé.
