Experience the Majesty of Hut 2 Mount Cameroon

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start your journey from Buea, which is the closest major city to Mount Cameroon National Park. From Buea, take the road towards the Limbe-Mount Cameroon area. Drive towards 'Bonakanda' village, and look for the signs indicating Mount Cameroon National Park. You will need to pay an entrance fee at the park gate, which is approximately 2000 FCFA (about $3.50). Continue driving until you reach the designated parking area near the trailhead for the hike to Hut 2. Ensure your car is parked securely.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Hut 2 using public transportation, you can take a shared taxi (known locally as 'taxi-brousse') from Buea to Limbe. Once you arrive in Limbe, you will need to find another shared taxi heading towards Bonakanda. Inform the driver that you are going to Mount Cameroon National Park. After getting dropped off at the park entrance, you will need to pay the entrance fee of about 2000 FCFA (approximately $3.50). From the entrance, you can either hike or hire a local guide to take you to Hut 2. The hike from the park entrance to Hut 2 typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on your pace.

• Hiking

  Once you are at the trailhead (after parking your car or being dropped off by a taxi), follow the marked trail towards Hut 2. The path is well-trodden, but it is advisable to stick to the main trail to avoid getting lost. Make sure to carry enough water, food, and a basic first-aid kit. The hike is moderately strenuous, so take breaks as needed. Look out for signposts indicating the direction to Hut 2, and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
