Timeline
17:35
Grab a coffee or light snack at Massi. It is a regional restaurant open until 19:00, so you have plenty of time before the golden hour begins. The walk from the park is just four minutes.
17:55
Walk to Bois Saint-Anastasie. Enter the park and find a quiet spot near the stream or the restaurant area. Note that you must pay a fee of FCFA 2500 to take photos inside.
18:20
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting golden light over the park from 17:51. If you keep walking south through the park, you can see the waterfalls of Mfoundi behind the Ministry of Forestry.
18:50
End your evening at Boukarou Lounge. This 24/7 restaurant is just a four-minute walk from the park, making it an easy spot for a late dinner or nightcap after the sun goes down.
Local tip
The park can be dirty, so bring hand sanitizer. Also, be aware that the stream and general area are not pristine, but the relief from city noise is worth it for the sunset view.
