Mvog-Betsi Zoo, Wildlife sanctuary in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
The zoological garden contains numerous species of African wildlife, including lions, primates, reptiles, and various birds of prey throughout its grounds.
Founded in 1951 by colonial administrator Pfeiffer, the facility transitioned from a private animal quarantine space to government management in 1971.
The Ministry of Forestry and Fauna operates this educational center where visitors learn about Cameroon's native species and conservation methods.
Visitors can follow marked paths between animal enclosures while reading information panels that detail each species' characteristics and behaviors.
Ape Action Africa manages the primate section, caring for multiple species including mandrills, baboons, and De Brazza's monkeys within specialized habitats.
