The story of the place
Lake Awing, also called Lake Bambuluwe, is a crater lake perched at about 2,086 m, on the slopes of Mount Lefo, in the Bafut-Ngemba forest reserve. It lies in an old crater of the Cameroon volcanic line and is fed only by rain and by run-off from the hills around it. 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 and something to cover up if it rains. Do not swim without asking local people first, and take your rubbish back with you.
