Le Grand Nord

    Often referred to as "Africa in miniature," Cameroon is one of the
    most diverse countries in Africa, hosting a myriad of ethnic and
    language groups, truly varied climatic and geographical conditions,
    and fascinating traditional culture and history.

    From the Sahara to the equatorial grasslands to the highest mountain in West Africa, Cameroon is also full of wonderful,
    welcoming people. What often sets Cameroonians apart from even other Africans is their zest for life and their open curiosity
    regarding people from other parts of the world.

    Among the least known groups in Africa are the Pygmies, who live in the remaining areas of equatorial rainforest and many
    of whom still retain their traditional lifestyle despite encroaching roads and logging operations. There is still a vast area of
    Eastern Cameroon where Pygmies and forest elephant, chimpanzees and gorillas, orchids and hundred-foot mahogany trees
    all live in a symbiotic harmony.
