The Kaka of Cameroon

The Kaka of Cameroon, numbering approximately 193,000 people, are No Longer Unreached. They are a Bantu people of Cameroon's Batouri and Ndelele areas in the East Region, once classed with the Gbaya dialect cluster, whose oral tradition traces migration from near Berberati on the Central African Republic border around the mid-1800s. They mostly adhere to Animism and Kako is their primary language.
