“Ancient Standing Stones”

Archaeological siteUNESCO protected natural/historical site

Dating back to the Late Stone Age, the Bouar Megaliths are a striking collection of standing granite stones weighing up to several tons. Highly significant for archaeological students studying early Central African civilizations, these structures were likely used in ancient burial rituals. The best time to explore the site is during the dry season (December to March) when the terrain is most accessible. Visitors should arrange a local guide for the most insightful historical context and interpretation of the ruins.
