Avid hikers can hit the same trail used by athletes in the annual Guiness Mt Cameroon international race, with the 4,095-metre-high summit boasting sweeping views over the countryside.

After a day on the mountain, refuel with dinner at a local restaurant. Save your appetite for classic Cameroon dishes such as chicken kebabs, fried plantains and “njama njama” huckleberry leaf stew. For dessert, indulge in a slice of Cameroon banana cake.
