The country at a glance
Discover Cameroon
It is nicknamed “Africa in miniature”: Cameroon brings together equatorial rainforest, beaches, volcanoes, highlands and savanna, and more than two hundred peoples. Bilingual in French and English, it offers a condensed version of the continent, from the coast at Kribi to the chiefdoms of the west.
Travel to the Far North, Northwest and Southwest regions is advised against. Check the travel advice of your own government and of France Diplomatie (the French foreign ministry's travel advice) before making any plans.
