Jemberem & Parque Natural de Cantanhez
The hardest-to-reach places are often the most beautiful, and so it goes with Jemberem.
You'll need a 4WD, time and patience to get here, but if you do, you can stay at the clean
and simple
U'Anan Camp
( 6637263, 6060019; d/q CFA15,000/25,000)
on the edge of
Parque Natural de
Cantanhez
, which supports a fully fledged ecotourism project. The camp can arrange forest
treks into the chimp- and elephant-inhabited park.
