Kribi Lighthouse (Range Front)

The Kribi Lighthouse (Range Front) is located in Kribi, in the southern part of Cameroon, near the Gulf of Guinea. This historic structure was built in 1906 by German colonialists who occupied Kamerun at the time. The lighthouse is a cylindrical tower with a balcony and lantern, marked by a white tower and red balcony and lantern. It is situated by the beach resort of Kribi, just north of the tourist destination Lobe Waterfall.

The lighthouse played a significant role in the town's history as the center of trade for the southern region, which was known for trading rubber and ivory. Today, it is a part of Francophone Cameroon, and the lighthouse has been preserved as a historic structure. The keeper's cottage that was once adjacent to the lighthouse has been removed.

The Kribi Lighthouse remains a notable landmark in the area, and its location is close to various attractions, including the Hotel du Phare and the Lobe Waterfall.
