​Africa in miniature

To discover the African continent, the best gateway is undoubtedly Cameroon. From the Atlantic Ocean to the borders of Lake Chad, ten regions constitute this country that deserves its title of tourist eldorado.

Introduction

Cameroon has it all. Of course, other African countries could say that about themselves, but few can say it with the same confidence, Cameroon can. Where else can you get from beach resorts through dense rainforest teeming with wildlife to the bustling modern cities go, then by train to the arid, predominantly Muslim north, where you can find traditional villages, which are found on rocks, all in one country? 

The history of the country has a heritage of diverse, multi-lingual number of people living side by side on the left. Travelers can hike into the mountains to Cameroon in the north, explore the jungle in the south, or laze the hills and towns along the coast. All that plus there is the highest mountain in the region rose from near the sea, a deadly sea, sultans, kings and tribes throughout the day and all night ceremonies and festivities. Oh, and there is a lion - wild in the bush and inflexible to those on the football field. 

Must See

• Mandala Mountains - Almost unlimited hiking through beautiful countryside and traditional villages.
• Kribi - A laid-back beach town where travelers and Cameroonians immediately come to swim, relax, eat, drink and dance .
• North West - Scenic mountainous region, rich in history, with tribal chiefdoms, sultans, and the challenge of the ring road. 
• Mt Cameroon - the highest peak in the region is rising from the foothills town of Buea and a rewarding challenge for climbers.

Culture

Cameroonians are always working, ambitious and hardworking, are scrambling to make a better life. It is only a slight exaggeration when people say that if Cameroon's borders, the countries of Central Africa joins starve to death; Cameroon grows, produces and exports much of what you find in the market stalls in the neighboring countries. Of course, this energy is not always strictly legal measures is limited because Cameroonians might have a reputation of crooks and fraudsters. 

It is hard to grasp the Cameroonian people, because it gets together from so many different elements - in Anglophone West Francophone in the east, Christians in the south, in the Muslim north, with many exceptions, usually mingled with everyone along, but Cameroon have a lively discussion about their differences and ethnic tensions and discrimination are common. 

Environment

The country, like the people who has a lot of different elements of the colonial era borders thrown. The South is deep forest in a low coastal plain. In the middle of the country, the jungle gives way to a sparsely populated savanna. The north and far north are in the vicinity of the Sahel zone, with dry, sandy conditions, all the way to Lake Chad. Before the mountains west of the country, from Mt. Cameroon near the Atlantic coast to the Bamenda Highlands and the Mandara Mountains in the north. 

Cameroon has many wild animals when threatened encroachement of habitat and poaching for the bushmeat trade. In the south there are gorillas, chimpanzees, forest elephants and a variety of rare Central African species, but they are almost impossible to see in the dense forest. The bushland in the north, the animals are much easier to find. The best place for wildlife viewing is Waza National Park in the north of the country. Many other national parks will be identified and made accessible to visitors in the hope of developing an eco-industry, while protecting endangered habitats.
