Getting There

Car
If you are driving from Yaoundé, take the N1 highway towards Adamawa. Continue on N1 until you reach Garoua Boulaï. From there, take the D10 road towards Koma. Follow the signs to Koma I and then use a local map or GPS navigation to head towards the Atlantika Mountains. The drive will take approximately 8-10 hours depending on traffic and road conditions. Make sure to stop for fuel and refreshments along the way.

Public Transportation (Bus)
Start your journey at the main bus station in Yaoundé and look for buses heading to Garoua or Ngaoundéré. Buses typically leave frequently, but it's advisable to check schedules in advance. Upon arrival in Garoua, transfer to a local bus or taxi heading to Koma. Ensure you communicate your destination clearly to the driver. Once in Koma, you may need to hire a motorcycle taxi or walk to reach the Atlantika Mountains, which are located a few kilometers outside of the town. The entire journey may take around 12-15 hours.

Local Transport (Motorcycle Taxi)
Once you reach Koma, use local motorcycle taxis (known as 'bendskin') to reach the Atlantika Mountains. Negotiate the fare beforehand, which should be around 1,000 to 3,000 CFA depending on the distance. The motorcycle ride will take about 30 minutes, and it’s the most efficient way to navigate the often rough terrain leading to the mountains.
