Lobé Falls, Coastal waterfall in South Region, Cameroon.

The Lobé River creates a series of cascades that flow directly into the Atlantic Ocean, forming a natural connection between fresh and salt water.

The waterfall site holds significance since colonial times when European explorers documented the natural formation and established initial infrastructure in the region.

The falls represent sacred grounds for the Batanga, Mabi, and Pygmy communities who maintain their traditional practices and ceremonies in the surrounding area.

Visitors can reach the falls through established routes from Kribi city, with options for guided tours and boat excursions near the waterfalls.

The waterfall system spans approximately 100 meters in width, creating multiple streams that fall into the ocean, supporting a diverse coastal ecosystem.
