From Douala literally take flight in the air for Maroua and we dive immediately into lunar landscapes of northern Cameroon. On the way to Waza groups of men armed with spears and arrows at the edges dela road riders who are launching frenzied horses belly to the ground, we be some celebration, we stop hoping to take some good photo. Immediately advise us to go back in your car and leave, we are in the midst of a tribal war, theft of livestock has resulted in the killing of 2 young and you are planning to attack the nearby village held responsible. It looks like a film, but it's all damn true as the bodies of two children lying lifeless in a few tens of meters from us.
However, the journey continues
Tourou
Tourou is a small village on the border with Nigeria on Thursday in which converge the inhabitants of the region to create all'animatissimo weekly market, one of the most typical of the north of Cameroon. Quite unique in the field of sale of millet beer curato Hide the women, identified the typical headgear: a half-decorated pumpkin.

Oudjilla
A runway hard and impervious to salt Oudjilla, known for one of the most unusual and disproportionate "sare", home of a famous head Podoko in the region through the deployment of fifty wives that have enriched a 'large offspring. Because every woman is entitled to four huts, built with stones and mud and covered by a conical roof, his family covers an area important.

Waza
The park was created in 1934 to protect giraffes and antelope and is the most visited and best equipped of Cameroon. Its population of 170,000 hectares pachyderms, ungulates, birds and cats are one of the most important attractions of the north of the country. Certainly can not boast the wealth of the reserves of East Africa, especially during the rainy season, when animals left the savannah. The animals must go look for them with his eyes among the grasses, surprise close to water points, peek between the vegetation, we must live the pleasure of discovery, aided by a little 'luck, and sometimes simply to "hear" only the presence supported by tracks and other tangible items. Dinner and overnight at Campement de Waza, beautifully situated on a hill which dominates the plain.
