Situated just north of the Equator, Cameroon is a fascinating country with desert regions, vast mountains, volcanoes, lakes and tropical forests teeming with wild animals, including chimpanzees, gorillas (specifically the cross river gorilla which is a subspecies of the western gorilla) and forest elephants. There are 19 protected national parks, many in pristine condition due to low numbers of tourists. Cameroon’s palm fringed beaches with both white sand and black volcanic sand are the perfect place for a relaxing visit post safari.
