Cameroon - Ben West

The new edition of Cameroon features every aspect of travel in the little-known west African country. Cameroon offers 'pygymy' hunting camps deep in the rainforest, Arabic-speaking trading towns, ancient tribal kingdoms, mountain scenery, and fabulous beaches. Its varied population bears Muslim, Christian, British and French influences and although officially bilingual, around 160 different African dialects are spoken.Wildlife watching is a prime reason for visiting this corner of West Africa: this book incorporates a useful field guide to the main species of animals in Cameroon, recommendations on birding from experts and the best habitats to be found in the reserves, national parks and conservation areas.
