Cameroon Essentials

Cameroon's diverse landscape encompasses the active volcanic slopes of Mount Cameroon and the northern Lagdo Reservoir. Cultural landmarks include the Foumban Royal Palace, seat of the Bamoun Sultanate, and the German colonial-era Old Presidential Palace in Buea. The country's varied geography is further defined by the volcanic Lake Barombi Koto, the Ekombe and Chollet waterfalls, and the granite peaks of the Adamawa Plateau, reflecting the region's reputation as 'Africa in miniature'.
