Limbe Botanic Garden, established in 1892, is one of Africa's oldest botanical gardens. Visitors can explore lush pathways lined with exotic palms, medicinal plants, and towering trees. The garden serves as a conservation hub for Cameroon's rich flora, including rare orchids and fruit trees. It's a peaceful retreat where you can spot monkeys and colorful birds, and learn about local plant uses through interpretive signs. The garden also features a small museum and a nursery selling native plants.
