Where Is Cameroon
Anyhow??


Cameroon is found on the West Coast of Africa. It is often called 'Africa in Miniature' because of the varied climatic zones within the country. It has jungles in the South, savannah in the Northwest and desert conditions to the North. Almost every type of animal we think of when Africa comes to mind is found there too. I've been told of one friend who had to go the the family's rice plantation early in the mornings to chase the monkeys from the crops! And we thought crows were bad, can you imagine trying to build a 'scare-monkey'? There is an excellent animal preserve that attracts a lot of visitors, you can read more about elephant conservation through the links section of this site.
