Mbam Djerem National Park

Mbam Djerem National Park is a vast protected area established in 2000 in central Cameroon, spanning approximately 4,200 square kilometers across the country's interior highlands. The park occupies a uniquely significant position at the intersection of two major vegetation zones, straddling the boundary between Central African lowland tropical forests and Sudano-Guinean tree and woodland savanna. This transitional setting creates an extraordinary mosaic of habitats that makes Mbam Djerem arguably the most ecologically diverse protected area in Cameroon. The park is watered by the upper Sanaga River basin, with the Djerem River serving as the main watercourse through its heart before becoming the Sanaga further south. A spectacular waterfall marks one of the park's notable hydrological features. The landscape is characterized by rolling ridges vanishing into the distance, with gallery forests following watercourses through valleys while surrounding slopes alternate between forested slopes and open savanna. This remarkable ecological blend creates one of Africa's most significant conservation landscapes, supporting populations of large mammals and biodiversity that has largely vanished from West Africa.
