Grand Batanga
A seaside village of the Batanga people south of the Lobé Falls, where 19th-century missionaries first landed. It has quiet beaches and a strong fishing-village character.
Grand Batanga lies south of the Lobé Falls and is a traditional fishing village of the Batanga people. In the 19th century, American Presbyterian missionaries landed here and established a church. The village preserves early mission memorials and traditional wooden houses. Its beach is quieter than the town's, and fishermen can often be seen casting nets and building dugout canoes. A few beachside hostels and grilled-fish stalls are here. It can be combined with the Lobé Falls in a single half-day trip; a taxi from Kribi takes about 20 minutes.
