Will hopefully get some pictures up to show vehicle and landscape of Cameroon. We went back to Ebogo on Saturday, without our dog this time as we wanted to have a trip in a dug out canoe up a really wide river called the Nyong to go and see a giant tree that is also the oldest in Cameroon at 1,200 yrs old. The river itself was totally black with zero visibility but apparently is reasonably shallow at 2m (just over 6 feet). When we arrived at the bank to get out of the canoe, we were greeted by loads of ants that happily bit my wife's feet. We then had to walk along a narrow path for about 5 minutes when suddenly, this ginormous tree appeared. It looked like something out Jack and the Beanstalk. It was absolutely massive, allegedly taking 24 people hand to hand to go round it, which we could believe looking at it. No idea what kind of tree it is but we were told that it is the only one of its kind in Cameroon.

Took a trip on Sunday to an ape santuary about 90 minutes away where the final part of the journey is 6 kms of untarred road. I got my wife to take several pictures of the road ahead and I'll post them on here, once I have read how to do that. Also took a couple of the car at Ebogo in its natural habitat! Still itching to raise the suspension and into low range but nothing so far.

Hahahaha used to do the same in Lagos sometimes, raise the suspension and go "offroad" through the deep puddles passed the traffic jams |

Hopefully some photos of the road to Mifou where the ape sanctuary is situated.
