Cameroon is a country in Africa with a population of 30,243,300. Cameroon is called ‘Africa in miniature’ for its incredible diversity—rainforests, savannas, volcanoes, and over 250 ethnic groups.

Festivals, both religious and secular, are lively affairs with drumming, dance, and communal feasting.
