It has an equatorial climate with two variants, the variant with the Guinean type of climate is characterised by a fairly abundant rainfall; the variant with the Cameroonian type of climate is characterised by very strong rainfall.

The region is found very close to the sea, on the left shore of the River Wouri. The city of Douala, the Littoral Regional capital and economic capital of Cameroon is the main entry port of the country. It is a city that is full of activities thanks to its port (one of the most important in the West African coast) and its international airport, served by several air companies.

The principal rivers of the region are the Wouri, Sanaga, and Dibamba. They have abundant species of animals and plants and also serve as transportation means of goods and persons, and for the production of electrical energy.

  • BEACH TOURISM

The Littoral Region is endowed with beautiful fine sand beaches such as the Yoyo and Manoka beaches as well as the Lake Ossa beaches at the Sanaga Maritime Division.

  • TREKKING AND WALKING

The Manenguba Mountains in the locality of Melong offer very interesting trekking and walking possibilities all along the slopes of these mountains. At the summit of these mountains, we have Male and Female lakes. The Female Lake, with its blue waters presents itself in the form of an inverted African map, and it is more accessible since it is situated on top of a hill. On the other hand, the Male Lake, with its green colour waters, is found embedded in between two hills, making its access a little bit difficult.

  • AGROTOURISM

Agritourism is well developed in this region thanks to the presence of large agro-industrial exploitations of pineapples, bananas, oil palms, etc., found in Douala and Edea.
