Mount Cameroon travel guide
Understand
Mount Cameroon is the most active volcano in West Africa, having last spewed lava in 2012. The trail rises through farmland, then forest, and then a barren volcanic landscape once you break the tree line. Mount Cameroon is the 31st-most-prominent peak in the world, and the views from the top are spectacular.
Getting there
