Cameroon (CMR)

Cameroon is a country in Africa with a population of 30,234,300. Cameroon is called ‘Africa in miniature’ for its incredible diversity—rainforests, savannas, volcanoes, and over 250 ethnic groups. Cameroonians are passionate about football, makossa music, and colorful traditional dress. Christianity and Islam are widespread, but many communities also maintain indigenous spiritual practices. Festivals, both religious and secular, are lively affairs with drumming, dance, and communal feasting.
