Day 3-DOUALA CITY TOUR
Douala is the commercial capital of Cameroon and its largest city. Situated on the estuary of the Wouri River, Douala was the gateway into Cameroon for the earliest European explorers and is today the main seaport of the central African region. It was the German capital from 1884 until 1901 and its colonial buildings remind us of the city’s history, marked as it is by traditional dynasties.
You will see from the outside the old Palace of King Manga Bell. Built in 1884, the palace has the shape of an Asian Pagoda. Look out for the Palace of King Akwa who by tradition leads the Ngondo ritual to communicate with Douala’s ancestors. The Monument of Liberty is at the main intersection of Douala and commemorates new found freedoms. The vibrant Sandaga vegetable market is nearby. In the heart of the city, the “Place du Government”, the “Monument du Soldat Inconnu” honors the allied forces who died here during World War I. We will also visit all the industrial zones in Douala with lunch in some local restaurant, return to hotel Astoria for dinner and night.
