Inhaltsangabe

A Bradt first as the only English-language country guide to this little-known, but fascinating, West African nation. The book explores geographical diversities of Lake Chad in the north, Mount Cameroon in the west, and the dense rainforests of the south. Details of getting around this 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 for overland crossing into Cameroon from adjacent countries are provided to make this the complete guide for travelers.

This guide features:

· Natural history and wildlife in depth
· All levels of available accommodations, eating out and local transport
· Full coverage of Cameroon's cultural diversity
· Comprehensive information on what to see and where to go
· Language, including getting by in "Cameroon" French

Cameroon: The Bradt Travel Guide provides thorough coverage of a country that entices lovers of adventure and nature in equal measure. Visit ancient tribal kingdoms in the western highlands, colorful trading towns and "pygmy" hunting camps. Experience the thrill of watching endangered lowland gorillas in their natural habitat.
In this, the first dedicated guide in English, you will find information on: wildlife, including birding sites; accommodations, from camping to luxury city hotels; crossing from neighboring countries; history, geography, local cultures and the environment.
