You too can come see why Cameroon is unique

Sarah Nam


Visiting Cameroon is like visiting the entire large continent of Africa. This is because Cameroon is the only country that has tiny beats of everything you might want to see in every African country. That is also why she has earned the name "Africa in miniature"

Just like every country, my country is peculiar because of its diversities in culture, linguistic and geological features.

Let's see those things you might want to come for tourism

1. Beaches
Cameroon's beaches have white and black sand. How is it possible that the same ocean which borders the country has different beach sand in different parts? No one knows the answer.

Though I hail from the South West coastal city of Limbe where the beach has black sand, I must affirm with many tourists and Cameroonians that, the white-sand beach of Kribi is more beautiful. Commonly called "Cameroon Riviera", it's always populated every weekend.

Walking down the beach, the softness of the sand and the waves were refreshing.




2. The desert

This is a place I have not yet visited in the Far Northern region of Cameroon. Many friends who have been there saying, its extremely hot and humid climate makes it desert-like. With mostly cattle rearer's living there, eating beef is very common.

The calmness of the desert and the warmth of the sun could be a unique experience for those who love to adventure into areas without people.

3. Mountains 

Cameroon has several mountains and hills around the country but the Fako Mountain (tallest in West Africa) remains the most beautiful hiking spot of thousands of tourists yearly. 




Reaching the summit of the mountain feels like an achievement of a lifetime. Hiking lovers, you will enjoy climbing the stip slops and taking pictures of unique flowers. Brace yourself for the cold though.

4. the Rainforests

Cameroon's rainforests are considered the hob for biodiversity. There are thousands of species of plants, trees, and a huge amount of living things. The thickness of the forest and the sounds of the birds pecking the trees could be a calm environment for nature lovers.

5. Savannah

Savannas are perfect for safari tours. Anyone who wants to see different animal species will definitely enjoy touring a place full of animals. Cameroon hosts several species of animals including lions, tigers, elephants, antelopes among others. 

You will see more than I wrote. Why not come with an open mind.
