    (Translated by Google) Fantastic. Amazing show. As a reminder, the shooting of Tarzan is at his falls. Really a place to see imperatively (Original) Fantastique. Spectacle incroyable. Pour rappel le tournage de Tarzan, c'est à ses chutes. Vraiment un endroit à voir impérativement

    The pure beauty of nature presents itself here!đŸ„°đŸ‘! Unfortunately, despite fees, entrance fees and for taking photos, rubbish is thrown away everywhere and the path to the lake is no longer accessible! It's a shame!!!!đŸ˜Ș

    (Translated by Google) Very prestigious tourist site for Cameroon and located at the limit of the coastal and western regions. We will see the huge waterfalls and a unique ecosystem due to water droplets that create this microclimate of rain in any season and therefore always dense and green vegetation. The film Tarzan even had some scenes shot in these places. The improvements made made this site even more picturesque and pleasant to stay there. Good luck to the Ministry of Tourism for the success that this site knows. (Original) Site touristique trĂšs prestigieux pour la cameroun et situĂ© Ă  la limite des regions du littoral et de l'ouest. On y verra les chutes d'eau immense et un Ă©cosystĂšme unique dĂ» aux goutellettes d'eau qui crĂ©ent ce microclimat de pluie en toute saison et donc une vĂ©gĂ©tation toujours dense et verdoyante. Le film Tarzan a mĂȘme eu quelques scĂšnes tournĂ©es dans ces lieux. Les amĂ©nagements effectuĂ©s ont permis de rendre ce site encore plus pittoresques et agrĂ©able Ă  y sĂ©journer. Bonne continuation au ministĂšre du tourisme pour le succĂšs que ce site connais.

    (Translated by Google) Visit to Ekom Falls Nkam definitely an experience to do in a group. The visit is made in three parts: the view from above, the life opposite and the view from below. The falls are wonderfully beautiful especially in the rainy season. Be careful in good physical condition and the floor is slippery so be prepared. The guides are at your disposal and even helps you to take pictures. It's really beautiful to see! (Original) Visite aux Les chutes d’ékom Nkam dĂ©finitivement une expĂ©rience Ă  faire en groupe. La visite se fait en trois parties: la vue d’en haut, la vie d’en face et la vue d’en bas. Les chutes sont merveilleusement belles surtout en saison des pluies. Faites tout de mĂȘme attention Ă  ĂȘtre en trĂšs bonne condition physique et le sol est glissant donc prĂ©parez vous. Les guides sont Ă  votre disposition et vous aide mĂȘme Ă  vous prendre pour les fotos. C’est vraiment magnifique Ă  voir!

    (Translated by Google) This place is in my humble opinion one of the most beautiful sites of Cameroon. I will even go so far as to say that he is the most handsome and proud of the region of Nkam where he is located. The Ekom Falls are a jewel whose beauty is not told. It must be verified by itself to the first ocassion. Although the access to get there is difficult especially during the rainy season in Cameroon, which corresponds to the summer in Europe, once we have completed this obstacle course we are immediately struck by the magnificence of this place. The rates to enjoy the falls is so ridiculous compared to the show they offer and the maintenance that can result. I find it unfortunate that this place is not more valued as a tourist destination by the authorities in charge of Tourism in Cameroon. (Original) Cet endroit est Ă  mon humble avis l'un des sites les +beaux du Cameroun. J'irai mĂȘme jusqu'Ă  dire qu'il est le +beau et la grande fiertĂ© de la rĂ©gion du Nkam oĂč il est situĂ©. Les Chutes d'Ekom sont un joyau dont la beautĂ© ne se raconte pas. Elle doit se vĂ©rifier par soi mĂȘme Ă  la 1ere ocassion. Bien que l'accĂšs pour y arriver soit difficile surtout en saison des pluies au Cameroun qui correspond Ă  l'Ă©tĂ© en Europe, une fois qu'on a effectuĂ© ce parcours du combattant l'on est tout de suite frappĂ© par la magnificence de ce lieu. Les tarifs pour pouvoir apprĂ©cier les chutes est si dĂ©risoire comparĂ© au spectacle qu'elles offrent et Ă  l'entretien qui peut en dĂ©couler. Je trouve dommage que ce lieu ne soit pas plus valorisĂ© comme destination touristique par les autoritĂ©s chargĂ©es du Tourisme au Cameroun.

    Very beautiful, indeed. However, the penalty fee of 10.000 CFA if one hour visit is exceeded, is insane and ridiculous. You should enjoy the view and pathways and not rush up and down the stairs in order to not be penalised

    This's a very beautiful place; where part of the scene in the movie "The Legend Of Tarzan " was been shot.

    The Ekom waters falls are located in the Moungo department in Cameroon, near Melong, not far from south of Bafoussam, the third largest city in Cameroon, more precisely in a village called MbouĂ©, of the BarĂ©ko people. These falls are 80 meters high and are the most beautiful waterfalls in Cameroon. They are characterized by 2 waterfalls, one permanently fed whatever the season, and the other only in the rainy season. with regard to the cinematic history of these falls, it is on this site that some scenes of the film “Greystoke, the legend of Tarzan” with Christophe Lambert were filmed. And it's easy to see why this feature film chose this place as its filming location: an oasis of nature where the falls are surrounded by lush vegetation. This place has become a touristic site where multiple groups from Europe, America, Africa and even within the country come to admire nature and it's beauty. Some come to spend time with God, have retreat, shoot their movies and so on. In this site, we have rest houses, restaurants, Bars and there is also light. The only thing lacking here is network. Coming here for your vacation will be the best decision you ever made. These photos and videos were taken during a retreat program held by the CBC Youth early this year 2023. Here, we had time with God through his word, Prayer, praise and worship and offering. After spending time in the presence of God, we went down to visit the falls. The distance from where we were to the falls was about 1 km. While near the falls, I was amazed of what I saw, you need to see it by yourself, a wonderful Nature created by an infinite being facing me a mortal and empty human. This day was a remarkable day in my life. I wish the next time I will go you join me so that together we can enjoy what God has kept for us, please share with your loves ones this marvelous work. Thanks

    Picturesque landscape, wonderful scenery and above all being surrounded by nature. I visited this place in April 2023 and I'd recommend it for anyone who enjoys nature. The road leading are also not bad, part tarred road and a stretch of untarred earth road from the main road down to the site. The tour guides are also very helpful, friendly and polite.

    (Translated by Google) The Ekom-Nkam Falls. The movie The Legend of Tarzan was shot in the 1980s' When I saw where this guy had jumped (yes there were ropes and everything) but yes really this guy had courage. We went in the dry season so obviously we did not have the 3 falls. Neither watering on arrival. But it was an experience to live. You can even arrive downstairs. But really, I'm just starting my life. I do not want to try big experiments. Tip: Go there by personal car Put a bikini down Have money to pay for access BAD POINT A site abandoned Have a 4 * 4 The Boucarous are empty The bar catering in front empty and closed yet it was Saturday. SOLUTION: Use village youth for site maintenance, bar, catering, and tour guides. Make a strong promotion of the site in the field, online and internationally. Provide bus coaster at the entrance of the site to make the path for non-vehicles (paying of course) Put all the attractions along the route such as instructions, photos of Tarzan movies etc. And of course use the income from the exploitation of the site to the development of the village. RECOMMENDATIONS: Old site or not The Ekom-Nkam Falls are a MUST DO. (Original) Les Chutes d' Ekom-Nkam. Le film la LĂ©gende de Tarzan y a Ă©tĂ© tournĂ©e dans les annĂ©es 1980' Quand j'ai vu d'oĂč ce mec avait sautĂ© ( oui il y avait des cordes et tout) mais oui vraiment ce gars avait du courage . Nous y sommes allĂ©es en saison sĂšche donc Ă©videment on a pas eu les 3 chutes. Ni l'arrosage a l'arrivĂ©e . Mais c'Ă©tait une expĂ©rience Ă  vivre. Vous pouvez mĂȘme arriver en bas . Mais vraiment je commence Ă  peine ma vie. Je veux pas tenter les grandes expĂ©riences . Astuce:Allez y en voiture personnelle Mettez un bikini en bas Ayez de l'argent pour payer l'accĂšs MAUVAIS POINT Un site laissĂ© Ă  l'abandon Avoir un 4*4 Les boucarous sont vides Le bar restauration en face vide et fermĂ© pourtant on Ă©tait samedi. SOLUTION : Employez les jeunes du village pour l'entretien du site, le bar, la restauration, et guides touristiques. Faire une forte promotion du site sur terrain, en ligne et Ă  l'international. PrĂ©voir des bus coaster Ă  l'entrĂ©e du site pour faire le chemin pour les non vĂ©hiculĂ©s ( payant bien-sĂ»r ) Mettre des attractions tout le.long du parcours tels les instructions, les photos du films Tarzan etc.... Et bien-sĂ»r utiliser les revenus issus de l'exploitation du site au dĂ©veloppement du village . RECOMMANDATIONS : Site vĂ©tuste ou pas Les Chutes d'Ekom-Nkam sont un MUST DO.

    Splendid falls... The place is well equipped for visitors. At the entrance, you will be asked to pay entry to the site, then pay again to take 1 photo. You can refuse this last payment and instead give 500 or 1000 FCFA directly to the local guide who accompanies you. Possibility of swimming at the bottom of the falls and taking a “natural shower” (invigorating).
