Return to Water in Africa

Cameroon, often called "Africa in miniature," has several distinct geographical and climatic zones: the tropical heat of central Cameroon, the dry, red winds of the Sahel, and the temperate fertile hills of the mountainous regions. With more than 250 languages, Cameroon is both culturally and geographically diverse.
