Discover the Majestic Oban Hills

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car within the Forest Region, start your journey from the capital city, Yaoundé. Head southeast on the N3 towards Ebolowa, then continue on the N8 road. From Ebolowa, take the D35 road towards the eastern direction until you reach the border with Nigeria. You will need to cross the border into Cross River State, Nigeria, which may require presenting travel documents and possibly paying a border crossing fee. Once in Nigeria, continue on the road towards Eku. Follow signs to Eku 542107, where Oban Hills is located. The travel time can take approximately 4-6 hours depending on traffic and border crossing time.

• Public Transportation

  For those opting for public transportation, start in Yaoundé and take a bus heading towards Ebolowa. The buses leave frequently from the central bus station. The fare is typically around 2,500 CFA francs. Upon arriving in Ebolowa, you will need to find a bus that travels towards the Nigerian border. This route may require some negotiation and confirmation of the destination. Once you reach the border, ensure you have your travel documents ready for crossing. After crossing into Nigeria, look for local transport options such as shared taxis or buses heading towards Eku. The total travel time can take anywhere from 6-8 hours, including waiting times.

• Taxi

  For a more direct and private option, consider hiring a taxi from Yaoundé to Eku. This can be arranged through local taxi services or ride-sharing apps available in the region. The taxi fare may range from 50,000 to 70,000 CFA francs depending on negotiation. Ensure that the driver is familiar with the route to Eku and the border crossing requirements. This option offers flexibility and can reduce travel time, potentially reaching your destination in about 4-5 hours, depending on traffic conditions.
