Overview

Cameroon is a country of contrasting landscapes, encompassing thick rainforest and scorching near-desert. It is home to Mount Cameroon, West Africa's highest peak, and also boasts pristine beaches, beautiful crater lakes and extensive national parks.
Cameroon: The Bradt Travel Guide provides thorough coverage of a country that entices lovers of adventure and nature in equal measure. Visit ancient tribal kingdoms in the western highlands, colorful trading towns and "pygmy" hunting camps. Experience the thrill of watching endangered lowland gorillas in their natural habitat.
In this, the first dedicated guide in English, you will find information on: wildlife, including birding sites; accommodations, from camping to luxury city hotels; crossing from neighboring countries; history, geography, local cultures and the environment.
