    To reach the Bandjoun Chiefdom, follow the signs on the N4 but if you feel lost do not hesitate to ask your way to any pedestrians, preferably in French. As soon as you pass the massive entrance gate, there are winding paths bordered by fences enclosing banana trees leading to a succession of renovated traditional huts surrounding the habitat, the women’s huts. The large hut at the end of the path was once the residence of the Chief. The Chiefdom also contains a museum featuring accessories of the old chiefs and the heritage of the family including statues ornamented with pearls, jewelry, masks, dancing hats, paintings, furniture, and hunting trophies. The Bandjoun Chiefdom is the largest Chiefdom of the West region and it’s truly worth a visit to understand the culture of the Bamileke people.

    The Bandjoun chiefdom exemplifies the chief palaces in most of the West region and is very similar to those of the North West, since the two region share common heritage. The architecture of the Chief's palace is the typical Bamileke home structure. The sculptures that make up the pillar of the big and main thatch house in the compound, interestingly represent the trades and jobs of everyday people who were either from the village or associated to the village life. It is a beautiful place to visit, especially the international-standard museum found within the Chief's compound. The museum gives a well presented outline of the dynasties of Bandjoun and also highlights some of the traditions of the early Bandjoun civilization. U I'm

    This place serve as a touristique site with so many traditional artifacts ... You could learn about the tradition of the Bandjoun people in this place.... You could also find late chiefs who have served in the past years

    A good museum, 2000 fcas per person. In the same way as the chefferie of fumban, the guide is better but the history less interesting.
