Bradt Cameroon

by Ben West

This guide explores the geographical diversities of Lake Chad in the north, Mount Cameroon in the west, and the dense rainforests of the south. Details of getting around the country by bush-taxi, rail, car or on foot, together with accommodations from camping to mud-hut 'royal palaces', are balanced by a wealth of background information on history, geography, culture, and the environment. Cameroon offers excellent possibilities for hiking and encounters with big mammals, including large herds of elephant. Planning and preparation details for overland crossing into Cameroon from adjacent countries are provided to make this the complete guide for travelers.

By Ben West - Cameroon (Bradt Travel Guides) ** eBook version read and referred to before and during a recent trip to Cameroon (Oct-Nov 2024)

As always, Bradt guides provide insight to off-the-track locations and always include excellent ssections on the country's history, culture and people, language, geology, and more (in addition to the practical information travel guides also offer).

dated but helpful. Are we ever finished with one of these? The geography stays the same, the politics and prices have changed. Extensive coverage of the parks, and great birding info. I plan to review a number of sections if and when we travel around here. Go for the latest guide if you can find it.
