Cameroon, located in Central Africa, is known as “Africa in miniature” because of its diversity of cultures and natural landscapes, from tropical forests to deserts. The capital, Yaoundé, surrounded by hills and forests, is the political and administrative center of Cameroon. The country's population is about 27 million people. The official languages are French and English, reflecting Cameroon's colonial history, which was divided between France and the United Kingdom.
The climate in Cameroon ranges from equatorial in the south to subtropical in the north. The economy is based on agriculture, with cocoa, coffee, and bananas being major products, as well as oil production. Cameroon is also known for its forestry industry.
Cameroon's cultural diversity is reflected in its rich ethnic mosaic, consisting of more than 250 ethnic groups, each with its own traditions, language, and art. The country is famous for its folklore, music, and dance, as well as traditional crafts. Tourists often come to Cameroon to visit national parks such as Lobeke and Waza, where you can see rare species of animals, or to climb the peak of Mount Cameroon, one of the highest mountains in Africa.
