Travel guide
Understand
Besides tourism, Kribi is an important commercial center. It serves as the end terminus for the Chad-Cameroon Oil pipeline, and then has a power plant, port, sawmills, and offshore natural gas extraction, which kind of tempers the environment. Besides the beaches, people like to visit Kribi to enjoy roasted fish that are purchased fresh off the boat from itinerant fishermen, as well as to see the Kribi lighthouse, Lobe Falls, and pygmy peoples who reside inland.
Eat
Local vendors will roast up fish you purchase from local fishermen. Or there are plenty of restaurants around.
Stay safe
The ocean has a strong undertow at Kribi, so be careful of that.
