• 4.665729.40231 Lake Barombi, close to the SDO'S Office in a village called Barombi Mbo. Lake Barombi got its name from a nearby village called Barombi Mbo and it's a crater lake. (updated Dec 2022)
• Twin Manengouba Lakes (Muanenguba Twin Lakes), on Mount Manengouba (2 1/2-hour drive northwest on the N16). These are a pair of caldera lakes, about 2,000 m above sea level, in the Manengouba volcanic massif. They consist of the Male Lake, whose water appears green, and the Female Lake, which has a deep blue hue. Surrounded by forests and hills, the lakes are not only natural wonders but also hold strong cultural and spiritual significance for the local Bakossi and Mbo peoples. Mount Manengouba is extinct, so there is no risk of a volcanic eruption. Guided camping is available near the lakes, and there are rare plants and birds to view. Pack warm clothing, rain protection, and drinking water. Weather can change quickly. Also, mobile signal can be weak in the mountains. A local SIM card (MTN or Orange) is recommended.
