  For those using public transport, begin your trip at the central bus station in Yaoundé. Look for buses heading to Bertoua. Once you arrive at Bertoua, transfer to a bus heading towards Abong-Mbang. At Abong-Mbang, find a shared taxi that is going to Ikom. Upon reaching Ikom, you will need to take another taxi to Basua. From Basua, you can either walk or hire a local guide to take you to Cross River National Park along Ikom - Abanliko Rd.
