Grotte de Fovu
Nature & parks in Bafoussam.
The story of the place
In Baham, in Bamileke country, the Fovu cave is a set of natural cavities and a sacred site of purification. Over about fifteen hectares, huge granite boulders, some 15 m high, form natural shelters among the trees. The biggest, “the cathedral”, is 40 m long. It is said to be the place where the royal line speaks with the spirits. Source: Wikipedia.

Good to know
- Entry and fees
- On site, an access fee or a guide may be asked for, and prices change: agree on the price before you start.
- Who to go with
- In a group rather than alone, and if possible with someone who knows the way.
- What to bring
- Water, good shoes, warm clothing and something against the rain. Take your rubbish back with you. This is a sacred place for local people: ask before taking photographs, and do not touch the offerings.
