RingRoad in Cameroon
This might be interesting for everyone who is interested in to drive the RingRoad area in Cameroon.
Starting point for most trips is the town Bamenda. From there the road to Bafut is tarred and it continues as nice piste until Wum. You can camp at Wum lake, but beware of the mosquitos. View is nice though. Although many guidebooks indicate a route between Weh and Fundong, there is actually a newer road between Wum and Fundong. The road between Weh and Fundong is narrow, rocky and steep! Better and quicker to take the newer road.
From Fundong the road is tarred until Belo (and further, it is said). From Belo, we took the shortcut to Mt Oku. All villagers told us that there is a new road, I have the impression they actually indicated us the old road by saying we should turn right at the fork... This involved heavy offroading over a steep and rocky path. It took 4 hours to drive 15 km. And after those 4 hours, we met a junction on the left coming from Belo... draw your conclusions.:confused1:
From Oku to Bamenda is an easy piste... coming down all the way from 2000 m Ndop and then Bamenda. From Ndop it is tarred.
Hope this helps!
