Cameroon

Cameroon is a Central African country where Atlantic coastline, dense rainforests, volcanic highlands and Sahelian savanna meet. Its wide range of landscapes and cultures has earned it the nickname Africa in miniature, and it offers varied experiences for leisure and business travellers alike. Yaoundé, the capital, is set among hills and is the country's political and administrative centre. Douala, the largest city and main port, is the economic hub and home to the busiest international airport. Other notable destinations include Buea and Limbe near the coast, Bamenda in the northwest highlands, and Kribi, known for its sandy beaches. Beyond the cities, Cameroon's scenery ranges from Mount Cameroon, West Africa's highest peak, and the crater lakes of the western highlands to the Waza and Benoue national parks in the north. The Dja Faunal Reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the country's music, cuisine and festivals reflect more than 250 ethnic groups and both French- and English-speaking traditions. Cameroon is a key economy in Central Africa, with trade, energy and agriculture centred around Douala and Yaoundé, and it hosts regional conferences, business meetings and sporting events. Its ports and border position also make it a gateway to neighbouring countries in the region. A network of international airports, highways and rail links connects the main cities and regions, making it practical to travel between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist sites by private transfer, chauffeur, bus or rental car.
