Getting there

Car

If you have access to a car, start your journey in the capital of Logone Occidental, Moundou. From Moundou, head southwest on Route Nationale 1 towards the village of Kélo. Continue for approximately 50 km (31 miles) until you reach the village of Bousso. From Bousso, follow the signs towards Logone River, which is approximately 15 km (9 miles) to the east. The river is located at latitude 9.3344578 and longitude 16.3042474. Make sure to have a GPS or a reliable map, as local signages may be limited.

Public Transportation

For those using public transport, take a 'taxi-brousse' (shared taxi) from Moundou to Kélo. These vehicles depart regularly from the main taxi station in Moundou. The fare is usually around 1,500 CFA francs (approximately $2.50) and the journey takes about 1-1.5 hours. Once in Kélo, find another taxi-brousse heading to Bousso. The fare for this leg is around 1,000 CFA francs (approximately $1.50) and will take about 30 minutes. Upon reaching Bousso, you may need to hire a motorcycle taxi (commonly known as 'zemidjan') to reach the Logone River, which should cost around 500-1,000 CFA francs ($0.80-$1.50) for the short trip.

Walking

If you're feeling adventurous and are already in a nearby village like Bousso, you can walk to the Logone River. The walk is about 15 km (9 miles) and will take approximately 3-4 hours, depending on your pace. Ensure you carry enough water and wear comfortable shoes. Follow the dirt paths that lead east from Bousso towards the river, and ask locals for directions if you get lost, as they are generally friendly and helpful.
