On our incredible bicycle touring adventure through Europe and Africa, we cycled through another beautiful country. After more than nine months in western Africa, we entered Cameroon and therefore the first county in Central Africa. We love to cycle in Africa and learn more about the culture, discover landscapes and meet local people. On the way to Cape Town, we pedaled through Cameroon and therefore our 27th country on this bicycle trip.
From the border in the hilly north, we cycled on a holey road to Bafoussam where we turned in the direction of Yaoundé. On the journey to the capital, we were surround by thick forest again and we definitely left the mountainous landscapes and the coniferous forests behind us. On the way, we saw many times, like in previous countries that people dried their harvest on the road. We saw cacao beans, chili peppers, cassava roots and peanuts.
After some rest days, we left the luxury again and cycled on the chaotic roads of Yaoundé, to leave the city. Shortly after leaving the capital, we already saw lush rainforest behind the villages and the region definitely got more rural. On the way to Gabon we got even a chance to witness a wedding. In total, we rode our bicycle more than 800 kilometers.

We are Adrian and Fabian from Switzerland and love adventures. In May 2018, we started our Cape to Cape cycling tour from Norway to South Africa. The project name originated from the exact starting point, which was the North Cape in Norway and our destination Cape Town in South Africa.
On the way we will cross two continents, more than 30 countries and master over 30’000 km. To connect the two capes with the bicycle, we plan to cycle for two years.
