Limbe Wildlife Center, Limbe

HOT SPOT RESTAURANT: EATING IN NATURE

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

sacklove 5 reviews

One among the best African restaurant in an African country.You can find both African and European dishes.The food and services are average.

Its location at the western corner of the Limbe Botanic Garden, couple with its installation adjacent to the Atlantic ocean, give customers a hospitable welcome.
While in the restaurant,You can smell the nice and natural sea breeze flowing from the atlantic ocean. Your eyes will not allow you to disgust the delicious meal because of a panoramique view of the atlantic ocean.
Before getting to the restaurant, the beauty and freshness of the various flowers and plants species at the Limbe botanic garden will give you a warm welcome. An aspect which makes the restaurant unique, different from that of other restaurant inLimbe.

Favorite Dish: An African dish known as WATER FUFU and ERU was exactly my insterest at Hot spot restaurant. This food is not prepared constantly but on command and in advance. Remember that is difficult for mr. A and mr. B to have the same appretiation on a particular commodity. The person who wears the shoe knows where it pinches most, so i can't say why i like this meal most.

Its therefore always good to give a cat a try.Try it then and it may become your favourite dish.

Getting to and around the OPEC CITY Limbe is fast and simple.

By road:
DOUALA-LIMBE 72KM tared roads=Faire 2000frs cfa bush taxi,1700 bus
YAOUNDE-LIMBE =Faire 5000frs cfa

Travelling by transport vehicule is cheap but a little bit inconvinience as much time is spent for the bus to load with passengers filling all the seats. It is therefore advice to hire a bus, but the prices of hiring a bus varies and negotiatable from different travel and transport agencies.

Off The Beaten Path  

Lava Flows across Major Highway
Over60 profile photo
Over60 131 reviews

Along the main highway from Douala to Limber and not far from town, a major eruption of Mount Cameroon in 1999 resulted in a tongue of lava about 15 meters high flowing across the main coastal highway. The lava did not reach the sea, and a short detour has since been built. An effort was made to convert the site into a tourist attraction by building a walkway up the side of the lava flow and a small tourist center at the base, but at the time I visited in 2010, the tourist center had evidently not been staffed for some time, and the area where the old road runs under the lava flow had become an impromptu garbage dump. Still, its an interesting demonstration of the power of nature.
