Korup National Park is in the Southwest Province of Cameroon and extends over 1,260 km2 of mostly undisturbed primary forest. It is reputedly one of Africa’s oldest and richest rain forests in terms of floral and faunal diversity. It is the most accessible rainforest national park in Cameroon with basic lodging infrastructure and a large network of trails open to visitors. The park is a popular bird watching destination and famous for primate viewing (including species such as the drill, Preuss's red colobus, red-eared guenon and Nigeria chimpanzee). Researchers from various disciplines have been conducting biological studies in Korup for over three decades, generating a wealth of information on rainforest ecosystems.

New Freedom Monument is a famous landmark in the city of mounted Douala in Cameroon, specifically in the area Deido.

Its implementation started in July 1996 by an artist named Joseph Francis Sumégné . This implementation was not without controversy because the artist was misunderstood by the work that is made especially for a set of metal parts mounted on a frame recovery boiler. The monument measuring 12 meters high has been completed that eleven years later by its creator, and inaugurated in December 2007 by the Government Delegate of the urban community during the Salon Urbain de Douala. This work was donated by its creator to the city of Douala. Today, it is part of the municipal heritage and has become the emblem of the city of Douala.

Ekom Falls is a spectacular waterfall not only because of its size and volume of water but because of its stunning surroundings. It is surrounded by dramatic slopes of lush green rainforest. There is a good vantage point where you can take photographs and then you can walk down a very steep slippery slope to get lower down and a little closer, which adds to the magnificence.
