The Koma people, inhabitants of the Alantika mountains is a very primitive people and have preserved their culture and traditions unchanged over a century. They took refuge in the mountains in the last half of the 19th century, apparently to avoid paying taxes to the colonial government. They remained unnoticed until 1980, when they were found by an Indian schoolteacher who was working for the government.

Alantika means where Allah hasn’t yet arrived in the Kanuri language due to the Koma people keeping their own religions, despite being mostly surrounded by Muslims.

Other Tours:1. Markets

As in most of West Africa the markets are fabulously colourful and really interesting to walk around. In smaller towns or rural areas the markets are held every few days not on a regular day every week so it is a good idea to check beforehand if you intend to visit a market. In some of the larger cities the markets are permanent with a central covered area. All markets are organised into product areas so you will find all the fruit and vegetables in one area with tomatoes all together, all the fabrics in another area, spices in another and so on. As Cameroon is so diverse, the markets in each area of the country vary greatly in style and produce so even if you have visited one in the South it is worth having a look at a Central of Northern one. And of course they are great for people watching!

 Due to the fact that Kribi is a very small town with few tourist attractions, the call to this town will be quite short but full of interesting things to see. Lunch should be onboard and the onshore excursion can start after lunch.

The most attractive things to see here:

-          Taking a local boat ride up the Lobe river to visit the pygmies of Bagyeli village (Bagyeli). These pygmies are going to perform traditional pygmy dances for the tourists.

-          Visit the Lobe waterfalls which empties the waters of the Lobe river directly into the Atlantic ocean, a very rare phenomenon.

-          Visit the Standard Bilingual and Nursery Primary School in Kribi.

-          Visit the Kribi local market.
