Wafro Says: Kribi port isn’t the same as in ancient times, a lot of the activities are transported to the Douala port. It is the ideal place to rent a boat for big-game fishing in the Bay of Biafra. You also find good food stalls where the catch of the day is prepared at the spot.
Wafro Says: Here empties the Lobé river into the Atlantic Ocean. This is one of few places on earth where a river ends in the ocean, so it it is an unique place to visit.
Hotel du Phare: Not worth the money.
gframe50 Says: I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone. Some of the reviews were obviously written by the owners. I just returned from a 4 night stay at Hotel du Phare. We reserved the Family Suite and paid 90,000 CFA per night (about $200 USD). The two best things about the...

Restaurant Hotel Du Phare: Grilled King Prawns
Wafro Says: Grilled King Prawns are a local speciality. You can eat them in many food stalls or restaurants in and around Kribi.Served with fries, lemon, a lot of garlic and a fresh salad it was worth all the euros in the restaurant of hotel du phare.
City port: Don't Miss The Fresh Seafood!
Wafro Says: After a stay of several days on the sea the fishermen return with their boats to the harbor where they sell their catch. The women on shore buy the catch of the day and on a charcoal grill they prepare the fish(s) you choose. BaracudaSoleSeabass... Grilled sole with a drop...
Helpfulness
Many people along the coastline in Kribi are fishermen. They have a pirogue made of large lumber trunks. Sometimes they stay in sea for two days, before they sell their catch at the local fish market near the port.

Wafro Says: Watch out for the undercurrent when you step into the sea for a swim. First gain information by the locals before going into the sea for a refreshing dip.
Don't walk on the beach after dark
Wafro Says: Walking around at night CAN be dangerous. A Belgian tourist once was killed on the beaches around “Tara Plage” for its watch and wallet. It probably isn’t always like that, but you’d better watch out at night even in the city centre.
Helpfulness
Where there are tourists there are souvenier stalls. Nothing wrong with that, but when they’re selling animal related products such as ivory tusks, animal skins or tortoise shields there is something wrong. Most of the products are forbidden by law, don’t buy them so the businessmen don’t gain from it.

Wafro Says: The lighthouse was built in 1906 during the German colonial period. Those days Kribi was a flourishing port where hardwood, coffee and cacao were the main export products.You only can reach the lighthouse on foot, it is located next to Hotel du Phare on the beach.
You could say that Kribi is the major beach resort in Cameroon. Surrounded by evergreen forest, a white sand coastline dotted with palm trees and tropical temperatures. The equatorial climate ensure a...
Yes, I had a deja vu when I stepped out to the beach... I closed my eyes and I felt like I was in Goa again... Not that it is entirely the same but you know how sometimes you have a feeling like...
