Destination Kribi

On long weekends, when overcome with the need to get-away-from-it-all, many in Yaounde with the means to do so will jet off to Kribi, Cameroon’s beach destination. I was there twice in the fall. What the Kribi beaches lack in size and grandeur, they make up for in isolation. Beach resort isn’t really the right descriptor for Kribi, as it is really just s small town with miles of beach along which are scattered a few hotels. You’re as likely to encounter local fishermen in their hollowed out boats as you are other beach goers. Pictures tell the story best. Again, these were taken by a friend of mine, as I'm still without a camera.
