Essentials in Cameroon
Mount Cameroon: Mt. Cameroon is the highest mountain in Western Africa and is an active volcano. It last erupted in 2012 and attracts hikers and trekkers from around the world. It takes several hours to reach the peak but it can be done in a day. Mary Kingsley was one of the first European to scale it in 1897.
Dja Faunal Reserve: This park has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since the 1980s because at least five threatened species live in the area including Lowland Gorillas. It’s one of the largest and best-protected rain forests in Africa.
Ngoketunjia: For a good dose of Cameroon culture, head to this north-western city. It consists of 13 different villages and in surrounding by the most gorgeous scenery. Tradition and culture are the most important things for the local Fulani and Bantu people. A handcrafted clay pot is the perfect souvenir from this region.
