Mont Minlo'o (905 m) walks

At 953 metres above sea level, Mount Mbog-Doum is the smallest of Yaoundé's seven hills. You will have a view of Nkolbisson, the Méfou Dam, Mount Akok Ndoé and Mount Minlo'o. Unfortunately, the view is obstructed halfway up by the forest, which gradually thickens towards the summit. Therefore, the only reason to continue to the summit is for the challenge it represents. This hike is not the most unmissable of the seven hills, not to say the least, but it is still enjoyable and allows you to explore the Nkolbisson neighbourhood in depth.

Situated between West Yaoundé and Nkolbisson, at an altitude of 967 metres, Mount Akok Ndoé offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the Cameroonian capital.You’ll enjoy views of the Mendong and Nkolbisson neighbourhoods and the whole of Yaoundé, as well as the Eloundem, Nzokye, Mbog-Doum, Minlo’o and Messa mountains.With significant elevation changes, woodland and magnificent vantage points, this hike will provide a rewarding challenge and reward you with a breathtaking panorama.You’ll need to be reasonably fit to complete this hike. For those who are less fit, it’s possible to do a shorter version of the route by starting from the finish point (E) and walking to the starting point (5) for this unmissable hike.Please note: this one-way walk requires a bit of planning, as the start and finish points are, of course, different.

Mount Ebaminala or Nkol Edoa, also renamed Mount Béatitudes, is one of the seven hills of Yaoundé. Located between Mount Mbankolo and Mount Messa, it rises to 983 m. The climb is accessible but still challenging, taking you along well-maintained paths and trails through lush vegetation, plantations and the heights of the mountain. Ideally located, the mountain offers views of the six other hills of Yaoundé, as well as the districts of Oyom-Abang, Nkolbisson and Mendong.

Hike on Mount Messa, circular from Mbankolo, return via Cité Verte, via the radio station. The route offers a circular loop for more variety, but the first part can be replaced by a return trip on the track that passes through point 4, particularly to make the first climb to the point (1) easier, as it is very steep.

Mont Fébé and Mont Mbankolo are undoubtedly the two most famous of the seven hills surrounding the city of Yaoundé. Rising to 1,077 m and 1,096 m respectively, they are a good place to start if you want to explore the Cameroonian capital. With 90% of the route easily accessible, this hike is accessible yet challenging. From Mount Fébé, you will have a view of the entire north-west of Yaoundé and, along the way, you will find open-air art galleries, the Parcours Vita, the Mount Fébé monastery and finally the Mount Fébé Hotel.
