Walking
From the center of Garoua, start at the Grand Marché (Main Market). Head northwest on Avenue du 29 Novembre until you reach the roundabout. Take the first exit onto Avenue de la Réunification.

Follow any available footpaths or trails that lead towards the park entrance.
Bicycle
Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in Garoua. Begin your journey at Place de la Liberté and cycle northwest on Avenue du 29 Novembre for about 1.5 kilometers. At the roundabout, take the first exit onto Avenue de la Réunification and continue cycling straight. After about 1 kilometer, you will enter the Foulbere area. Follow the signs towards Parc National du Faro, which is about 3 kilometers from that point. Be cautious of the traffic and look for bicycle-friendly paths.
Motorbike Taxi
To use a motorbike taxi (known locally as 'Benskin'), head to a nearby motorbike taxi stand in Garoua, such as those located near the Grand Marché. Tell the driver your destination – Parc National du Faro. They will know the way, but ensure you have the correct address (894R+9XH, Garoua) ready to show.
