Affectionately nicknamed ‘Little Africa’, Cameroon is an extraordinary mosaic of contrasting landscapes and equally contrasting cultures. Within its lush borders you will encounter rumbling volcanoes, wild beaches, quivering savannahs, tropical rainforests, rugged mountains, and a remarkable array of cultures. It is home to ancient chiefdoms, modern cities, Baka pygmies, and 409 species of mammals.

Follow the sound of makossa music and scent of roasting plantains through the streets of Yaoundé; find a tour outfitter in Buea and hike up Mt. Cameroon, an active volcano; explore the gushing Lobe Waterfalls in Kribi; or laze on the volcanic beaches in Limbe.

The steamy rainforest surrounding Korup National Park is one of the oldest in Africa and home to 400 species of trees and natural wonders such as Mana Waterfall and Bat Cave. For a taste of culture, the vibrant town of Foumban boasts an irresistible homegrown music scene, grandiose architectural jewels and fascinating Bamoun ceremonies.

Cameroon invites you to witness unimaginable beauty and feel the warm, pulsing soul of Central Africa.
