Explore Kribi differently

Outings designed with the villages: guides paid a fair rate, groups of eight at most, no forced interaction with wildlife. Sightings are never guaranteed.

Waterfall in the forest, mist and dense vegetation

Lobé Falls by dugout canoe

Where the river flows straight into the ocean.

A dugout canoe carved from a single trunk takes you from the beach to the foot of the falls, ten minutes from the lodge. Your guide tells the story of the river, the fishermen and the riverbank forest. You can swim in the pool below, as the current allows.
