Cameroon

Cameroon compresses an unusual range of landscapes into a single country: equatorial rainforest in the south, semi-arid savanna in the north, highland plateaus in the west, and an active volcano rising from the coast. French and English share official status, a legacy of split colonial histories that still shapes how the country's two halves feel and function.

About Cameroon

Overview

Situated in Central-West Africa, Cameroon borders Nigeria, Chad, the Central African Republic, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of Congo. Yaoundé is the capital; Douala is the larger commercial hub. French is dominant in eight of ten regions, English in the two northwestern ones. The currency is the Central African CFA franc. Cameroonian identity draws heavily on over 250 ethnic groups, each with distinct languages and traditions.
