The story of the place

Lake Tison, also spelt Tizon, is a crater lake about 300 m across and 48 m deep on average, on the edge of Ngaoundéré. It is one of the region’s favourite outings: people come to sit in peace, and there is a restaurant-bar on the shore. Source: Wikipedia.

How to get there

The pin on the map is approximate: trust these directions instead.

A few kilometres south of Ngaoundéré.

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.

7 date ideas that work (and 3 that never do)

We were asked what kind of dates women prefer. Honest answer: there is no “women”, there is the one you are inviting. But some dates leave room for conversation, and those almost always work.
