C-Bend Nature Park: A Serene Escape in Bamenda

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the center of Mankon, head southeast on the main road towards Bamenda. Continue straight until you reach the roundabout at Upstation. Take the second exit at the roundabout onto the road leading to X537. After about 2 kilometers, you will see the entrance to C-bend Nature Park on your right, just past the junction. There is no entrance fee, but ensure your vehicle is in good condition as some parts of the road can be bumpy.

• Public Transportation

  To reach C-bend Nature Park using public transportation, find a local 'taxi' (shared minibus) heading towards Bamenda. Get off at Upstation roundabout. From there, you can either walk south along the main road for about 2 kilometers or hire a motorcycle taxi (known locally as 'benskin') to take you directly to the park entrance. Motorcycle taxis usually charge around 500-1000 CFA depending on the distance.

• Walking

  If you are already in Mankon and prefer to walk, start from the nearest main road and head south towards Bamenda. After about a 30-minute walk, you will reach Upstation roundabout. From the roundabout, continue on the main road for another 2 kilometers until you see the entrance to C-bend Nature Park on your right. Ensure you wear comfortable shoes and carry enough water, especially on hot days.
