This is a wonderful place (not in the zoo located in the town) but is around 1 hour outside the town. A fantastic place to see how the primates are taken care by a group of volunteers. A must and a worthwhile visit.
The place is called Mefou National Park and is situated around one hour from the centre of Yaounde. It contains 1044 hectares of forest. At present it has eight electrified enclosures housing Chimps, Gorillas, Baboons, and various species of monkeys. Mefou is the perfect setting for visitors to see Cameroon's unique wildlife in a natural environment.

Call victor who is a nice and helpful person at the park, he can be reached at : 237 77 63 34 69
