15 Reasons You Should Visit Cameroon

Posted on by Yomi

Cameroon is often called “Little Africa” because it contains the diversity of all of Africa within its borders. It’s got varied terrain — volcanoes, beaches, savannahs, rainforests and rocky mountain ranges — as well as diversity of culture, including Christians, Muslims, pygmies, ancient chiefdoms and modern cities sharing its 475,000 square kilometers. Not to mention the vast amount of animals, plants and bird life: 409 species of mammals, 165 species of birds, and over 8,200 species of plants. Any way you look at it, it’s unique and unmissable — in fact, it’s said that if you haven’t been to Cameroon, you haven’t been to Africa.

1. It’s Not Clogged With Tourists

Despite being a peaceful and safe country that’s eminently hospitable to tourists, less than a million people visited Cameroon in 2012. Compare that to the almost two million who visited Kenya and nine million who went to South Africa, and you’ll understand why Cameroon is an ideal place to visit if you want an African experience without the crowds and high prices. The country may not be as prosperous or developed as the better-traveled ones, but you won’t be bored.
