Mount Cameroon is an active stratovolcano rising 4,040 meters, the highest point in West Africa. Hiking here is a multi-day adventure through rainforest, alpine meadows, and volcanic rock fields, with views of the Gulf of Guinea. The trek is demanding but rewarding, passing crater lakes and lava flows. Guides are essential for safety and navigation, and the summit sunrise is unforgettable.
