(admission CFA2000, camera CFA2000; 8am-6pm)
The second-oldest botanical gardens in Africa
are the home of, among others, cinnamon, nutmeg, mango, ancient cycads and an un-
named tree locals describe as 'African Viagra'. There's a small visitor centre and an area
with Commonwealth War Graves. Guides (CFA1000) aren't required but are recommen-
ded as labelling is minimal. Bring bug spray.
Beaches
BEACH
The best of Limbe's beaches are north of town and known by their distance from Limbe.
Mile 6 and Mile 11 beaches are popular, but our favourite is at the village of Batoké at
Mile 8, from where the lava flows of one of Mt Cameroon's eruptions are still visible.
