Mont Minlo'o (905 m) walks
Mount Minlo'o
Rising from the banks of the Méfou Dam and slightly lower than its neighbouring twin (966 m), Mount Minlo'o peaks at just over 900 m. The absence of tall vegetation on almost the entire ascent offers a clear panoramic view of the Nkobisson district, Lake Mefou and five of the seven hills surrounding Yaoundé. Starting and ending with fairly significant elevation changes, this hike is somewhat challenging without being reserved for the most athletic. A minimum level of physical fitness is nevertheless required.
Walks near Mont Minlo'o (905 m)
Mount Mbog-Doum
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.

Located between Yaoundé West and Nkolbisson and with an altitude of 967 m, Mount Akok Ndoé offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the Cameroonian capital.You will have a view of the districts of Medong, Nkolbisson and all of Yaoundé, as well as the Eloundem, Nzokye, Mbog-Doum, Minlo'o and Messa mountains.With significant elevation changes, forest and magnificent viewpoints, this hike will give you a great challenge and reward you with a breathtaking panorama.You need to be reasonably fit to complete this hike. For those who are less fit, it is possible to do a lighter version of the route by starting from the finish (E) and heading to the point (5) for this unmissable hike.Please note: this linear hike requires some organisation as the start and finish points are obviously different.
Circular of Mont Messa
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.
