Kribi Lighthouse
Phare de Kribi
A lighthouse built in 1906 during the German colonial period, standing on a headland in the city centre, and a landmark of old Kribi.
Kribi Lighthouse was built in 1906 during the German colonial period. It stands on a headland south of the city centre, its white tower overlooking the Kienké River mouth and the fishing port. It is one of the oldest buildings in this small town and one of the few surviving German-era maritime installations in Cameroon. The lighthouse is generally not open for climbing, but you can walk along the coast to view it, and it lies on the way to the fishing port and the Catholic cathedral.
