It is now a cliché to say that Cameroon is Africa in miniature but, as with clichés sometimes, there is an element of truth in the statement: everything you would expect from the African continent seems to be consolidated in Cameroon. The South has tropical rainforests and deserted golden beaches, whilst the northern parts have great expanses of desert, vast lakes and savannah, and volcanic mountains in between. Wildlife is scattered throughout the country, with ample opportunity to view elephants, lions and other creatures large and small. With such diversity and the possibility of game-viewing, it comes as a surprise to many that Cameroon is not a more frequently visited tourist destination. Cameroon has a wealth of activities and beautiful destinations to keep any traveller enthralled. Go, before it becomes 'discovered'.
