About Cameroon

Cameroon is a Central African country bordered by Nigeria to the west and north, Chad to the northeast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Republic of Congo to the south.  Cameroon is known for its varied terrain granting it the name "Africa in miniature". Its terrain features lush rain forests, white sand beaches and even active volcanoes. Hunters travel from all around the world to hunt the bongo, a kind of antelope found only in Cameroon. It's capital city is Yaounde.

Cameroon lies wholly within the tropics and is hot pretty much throughout the year. There are two distinct seasons in the country; the rainy and the dry seasons. From April to November, it is rainy in Cameroon. Most Cameroonian roads are dirt roads and become muddy during the rainy season rendering transportation nearly impossible and quite catastrophic. Northern Cameroon is rainy from May to September. Whenever one may choose to visit the country, it is best to completely avoid the rainy seasons.

Cameroonian culture is based largely on music and dance such as the Makosa and Bikutsi beats. Cameroonians are known for their exotic waist dancing and music. Cameroon is made up of 31% Cameroon highlanders, 19% Equatorial Bantu, 11% Kirdi, 10% Fulani. The country is quite culturally diverse and the best place to witness first hand how indigenous African cultures intersperse with modern culture. It is 70% Christian, 20% Muslim and about 6% of its population subscribe to traditional worship. Cameroonians speak French and English.

Cameroonian cuisine is characterized by the mix of bland starchy foods and spicy hot sauces or soups that is commonplace in West Africa. Fried or roasted fish and meat on skewers are common foods. In the north, staple foods are corn, millet, and peanuts. Cameroon's national dish is Ndole (stewed nuts, "ndoleh" which is a specie of bitter leaves indigenous to West Africa and it is usually garnished with fish, beef, shrimp and prawns and then the soup is eaten with plantain or cassava).

Some fascinating locations in Cameroon are: 
  • Waza National Park: This is the most famous of Cameroon's seven national parks. It is a lush park featuring elephants, lions, giraffes, antelopes and quite a variety of bird life as well as some of the richest flora and fauna in Africa.
  • Mount Fako: Mount Fako is the famous Mount Cameroon of Africa. It is an active volcano that stands over 4095 metres high making it the tallest mountain in West Africa and the fourth most prominent peak in Africa. The mountain is quite the natural spectacle.
  • Yaounde: Generally, West Africa is not known for its particularly beautiful cities and this is what makes Yaounde stand out. Being the Capital of Cameroon, the city is neat, safe and very well planned out over seven hills. Between buildings in Yaounde are lush, well kept greenery making it appear like a huge garden. Yaounde is also a central location in Cameroon making it a perfect spot from which to explore the rest of the nation.
  • Kribi: This is the "Home of Paradise" in Cameroon. Kribi beaches are stunning with white sands, blue sea, and impeccably cooked fresh fish served by any of the several restaurants and hotels lining the seafront.

Cameroon is home to the world's biggest specie of frogs; the Goliath Frog. It is the first African country to have reached the quarterfinals in the World Cup.
Accommodation in Cameroon ranges from budget to luxury hotels and lodgings.
