Mont Fébé
A hill to the north of the city, about 1,070 metres above sea level, covered in lush forest. Viewpoints near the Benedictine monastery on the slopes overlook the whole city.
Mont Fébé is one of the seven hills surrounding Yaoundé. Large areas of forest remain on the mountain, and winding roads climb past the Benedictine monastery, the old Mont Fébé hotel and a golf course. The summit and viewpoints along the way overlook the city and the surrounding rolling hills, and the views are best at sunset. Visitors can take a taxi up the hill and combine it with the Benedictine Art Museum for a half-day outing. Some areas on the mountain are military or private property, so please observe the signs.
