• Mount Cameroon, 4,100m high, which is still an active volcano;
• The Korup National Park, a living natural history museum dating back to 300 million years and enjoying a rare variety of flora and fauna.
• The Limbé Zoo, open all year round to tourists.
• The Barombi Lake in Kumba, with its luxuriant decor.
The South-West Region also has beautiful beaches of fine grey sand lapped by the Atlantic Ocean.
