Getting there

Walking

From any point in Odza, head towards the main road (Avenue de l'Indépendance). Walk in the direction of the city center for about 15-20 minutes until you reach the intersection with Mvog-Betsi street. Turn left onto Mvog-Betsi street, and continue walking straight for about 10 minutes. The entrance to the Mvog-Betsi Botanical Zoological Garden will be on your right side.

Bicycle

If you have access to a bicycle, you can take a scenic route. Start from Odza and ride towards Avenue de l'Indépendance. Once you reach the main road, head towards the city center. Follow the same path as walking, turning left onto Mvog-Betsi street and continuing until you reach the garden. This should take about 15 minutes of cycling.

Public Transport (Motorbike Taxi)

For a faster option, you can take a motorbike taxi (commonly known as 'benskin' in Cameroon). Simply find a motorbike taxi stand in Odza or signal a passing motorbike taxi. Tell the driver 'Mvog-Betsi' or show them the garden's location on your phone. The ride should cost around 500-1000 CFA francs and take approximately 5-10 minutes to reach the garden.
