Cameroon is sandwiched between six countries: Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, Central African Republic, Chad and Nigeria, and the Gulf of Guinea.

Due to its amazing geographical position, it exhibits all major climates and vegetation of the continent: coast, desert, mountains, rainforest, and savanna. It is also rich in beautiful white sand beaches.

Cameroon is also the perfect place to experience the point of contact of the traditional African tribe culture and the modern culture.

The highest mountain in West Africa is also found here. It is an active volcano called Mount Cameroon with its height of 4095 m.

If you ever get invited to a Cameroonian’s home, bring a gift to the host; it can either be a fruit basket, whiskey or wine.

The all-time favorite fruit, mango originates from this West African country.

The world biggest frog is also inhabited in Cameroon. The Goliath Frog can grow up to 33 cm in length.
