Cameroon (/ˌkæməˈruːn/; French: Cameroun), officially the Republic of Cameroon (French: République du Cameroun), is a country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Cameroon's coastline lies on the Bight of Bonny, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Cameroon is home to more than 200 different linguistic groups. French and English are the official languages. The country is often referred to as "Africa in miniature" for its geological and cultural diversity. Natural features include beaches, deserts, mountains, rainforests, and savannas. The highest point at almost 4,100 metres (13,500 ft) is Mount Cameroon in the Southwest Region of the country, and the largest cities in population-terms are Douala on the Wouri river, its economical capital and main seaport, Yaoundé, its political capital, and Garoua. After independence, the newly united nation joined the Commonwealth of Nations, although the vast majority of its territories had previously been a German colony and, after World War I, a French mandate. The country is well known for its native styles of music, particularly makossa and bikutsi, and for its successful national football team.
The Southwest Region or South-West Region (French: Région du Sud-Ouest) of Cameroon is a province of Cameroon and constitutes part of the territory of Southern Cameroons. Its capital is Buea. As of 1987, its population was 838,042. Along with the Northwest Region, it is one of the two anglophone (English-speaking) regions of Cameroon, and has long been a hotbed of separatist resentment against the perceived Francophone domination of the country.
The region is divided into six divisions or departments: Fako, Koupé-Manengouba, Lebialem, Manyu, Meme, and Ndian. These are in turn broken down into subdivisions. Presidentially appointed senior divisional officers (prefets) and subdivisional officers (sous-prefets) govern each respectively.
The region was notable for having the first English-speaking university in Cameroon (the University of Buea), the first vice-chancellor being Professor Tanyi Mbuagbaw. Akin to the Northwest Region, the Southwest enjoys a considerably better infrastructure than its francophone neighbours.

Driving to Mamfe from Kumba from June to September can be exciting, frustrating, and can cause your blood to boil to see the torment people go through to get from one place to another. You see the wealth around you and you ask WHY? Contractors get money for upkeep of these roads but they make things worse by dumping EARTH, which they should know will become mud in the rain. But Cameroonians are a happy bunch. For them, this is fun? Makia Epie(2012)

Traveling to Cameroon, Africa, especially Equatorial Africa, calls for planning on your safety. I tried to put a summary of things I put in my bag before I head to the airport - camping toilet roll, deet spray, for mosquitoes, etc.
For more great information, photos and video about Malaysia, see PleaseTakeMeTo's Malaysia Travel Guide - http://www.pleasetakemeto.com/malaysia The Cameron Highlands are located in the far north west of the state of Pahang, just over 200 kilometers - or 3 hours drive - north from Kuala Lumpur. This cool mountainous region -- the highest on the Malaysian mainland - rises to 1500 metres above sea level, making it a popular escape for international travelers and locals alike. Named after William Cameron, a Scottish surveyor who came across the plateau in the late 1800's, by the 1930's the areas rolling mountains and lush valleys had become a haven for colonial-era Brits seeking respite from the lowland heat. With the British came tea, and the Highlands quickly became one of the wo...

Limbe has been described as Cameroon’s most aromatic rose flowers, when it comes to natural sites. Through these attractions, one clearly sees nature’s great gift to a country which is known to have been blessed with a portion of all of what you can find on the beautiful African continent – the beaches, the waters, the hills, the greenery, the plantations, the wildlife and what have you. As these great natural sites attract tourists, they do so more to film cameras and the people who operate them. But, the faces who appear in those frames must take advantage of those natural backgrounds to make their works much more palatable. That’s where Cameroonian actors who reside in the sea-side resort come in. Can their faces, acting prowess plus their physical environment make a difference within t...
