Why Cameroon?

Because of its varieties of culture, landscapes, fauna or flora, Cameroon is often referred to as Africa in miniature. It is the land of ecotourism.

The pygmies were the first inhabitants of Cameroon. They are still there, hunting to survive in the forests. The great national parks harbour almost all the species found in Africa; Herds of 200 elephants or more live there without any border.
