Lobé Falls, Coastal waterfall in South Region, Cameroon.
Lobé Falls is a waterfall system where the Lobé River flows directly into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a rare natural meeting of fresh and salt water. The river divides into multiple streams as it descends to the sea.
The site has been documented since colonial times when European explorers first recorded this natural formation. Early investigations led to the development of initial facilities in the region.
The falls hold spiritual meaning for the Batanga, Mabi, and Pygmy peoples who practice traditions in the surrounding lands. The waterfall shapes local life and ceremonies that continue today.
The falls are accessible from the nearby city of Kribi with guided tours and boat options available. Visitors should prepare for natural pathways and wet conditions in the surrounding area.
The waterfall system spans approximately 100 meters across, creating a diverse coastal ecosystem rarely seen elsewhere in the region. This meeting of river and ocean supports plant and animal life found nowhere else nearby.
