The Ekom waters falls are located in the Moungo department in Cameroon, near Melong, not far from south of Bafoussam, the third largest city in Cameroon, more precisely in a village called Mboué, of the Baréko people. These falls are 80 meters high and are the most beautiful waterfalls in Cameroon. They are characterized by 2 waterfalls, one permanently fed whatever the season, and the other only in the rainy season. with regard to the cinematic history of these falls, it is on this site that some scenes of the film “Greystoke, the legend of Tarzan” with Christophe Lambert were filmed. And it's easy to see why this feature film chose this place as its filming location: an oasis of nature where the falls are surrounded by lush vegetation.
This place has become a touristic site where multiple groups from Europe, America, Africa and even within the country come to admire nature and it's beauty. Some come to spend time with God, have retreat, shoot their movies and so on. In this site, we have rest houses, restaurants, Bars and there is also light. The only thing lacking here is network. Coming here for your vacation will be the best decision you ever made.
These photos and videos were taken during a retreat program held by the CBC Youth early this year 2023. Here, we had time with God through his word, Prayer, praise and worship and offering. After spending time in the presence of God, we went down to visit the falls. The distance from where we were to the falls was about 1 km. While near the falls, I was amazed of what I saw, you need to see it by yourself, a wonderful Nature created by an infinite being facing me a mortal and empty human. This day was a remarkable day in my life. I wish the next time I will go you join me so that together we can enjoy what God has kept for us, please share with your loves ones this marvelous...

The Ekom Nkam Waterfalls in Cameroon are a breathtaking natural wonder that exceeded all my expectations. The 80-meter tall cascading waterfall is set against a lush, green forest backdrop, creating a truly picturesque scene.
