]]> Cameroon is a Central African country that sits between Nigeria, Chad, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea. 250 ethnic groups live there, which makes it one of the most ethnically diverse countries. Here are three things you didn’t know about Cameroon.  

Africa In Miniature  

Cameroon is known as “Africa in Miniature” because it’s very diverse in landscape and culture. Every plant and animal that exists in Africa can be found in Cameroon. It’s actually one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Cameroon is also linguistically diverse. The official languages are English and French, but there are around 280 languages spoken in the country. The average person may have to speak six languages on a regular day.  

Oldest Forest In Africa  

The oldest forest in Africa is the Korup National Park Forest, a 60 million years old forest located in Cameroon near the Nigerian border. It’s home to around 4500 herbs, 600 tree species, and numerous animals like chimps, leopards, buffalos, and many more.  

Football  

Cameroon’s national football team is one of the best in Africa. They qualified for FIFA six times and participated in the World Cup five times. Their greatest success was in 1990 when they made it to the quarterfinals.

In the past, the former Portuguese colony was an important center of cocoa and sugar production, as well as an important location in the trade routes, and because of that it has a rich history full of various European influences.

The islands are a real tropical paradise – most of them are covered in rainforests and they have a really small population.

The Obo National Park, tucked away in the interior of the Sao Tome Island, offers spectacular tours for bird watching, mountain climbing and marveling at the Boca do Inferno (Mouth of Hell).

The island of Principe is full of isolated, untouched beaches that are some of the most remote and romantic in the world.

One of the best things you can do on the island is going snorkeling or diving, since the underwater world that is surrounding this paradise is astonishingly rich.

Once there, you should also visit the Fort Sao Sebastiao, which dates to 1575 and has been since turned into a museum.
