Publisher's Synopsis
This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt's Cameroon remains the only standalone English-language guide to this intriguing country. Essential information on nature, culture and staying healthy is included, plus practical details such as getting around and accommodation options in the city and countryside. Also covered are wildlife and bird sites, ancient tribal kingdoms, colourful trading towns, 'pygmy' hunting camps and where to see the endangered lowland gorilla. With ancient chiefdoms tucked between terraced fields and volcanic mountains, Mount Cameroon - Africa's highest peak, the impressive Waza National Park with its herds of elephants, and the coast's sleepy palm-fringed beaches, Cameroon has no shortage of attractions, yet is also not your usual tourist haunt.
