'Essential.' The Observer
Product Description
The new edition of Cameroon features every aspect of travel in the little-known west African country. Cameroon offers 'pygymy' hunting camps deep in the rainforest, Arabic-speaking trading towns, ancient tribal kingdoms, mountain scenery, and fabulous beaches. Its varied population bears Muslim, Christian, British and French influences and although officially bilingual, around 160 different African dialects are spoken. Wildlife watching is a prime reason for visiting this corner of West Africa: this book incorporates a useful field guide to the main species of animals in Cameroon, recommendations on birding from experts and the best habitats to be found in the reserves, national parks and conservation areas.

just back from Cameroon,
By Laima Lux "Lux" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cameroon (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)
i often have felt that guides are not up to the standard, but this is by far the WORST guidebook i've EVER bought. this is not to say that there is absolutely no practical information, but it's so scarce. it's hard to believe the author ever tried to do independant travelling himself. besides - it's so OUTDATED (usual problem in the content like Africa, but it should not be the case when using a book in Dec/Jan that claims to be published in July). there are much better ways to waste money than buying this book - try the french petit fute, or i found a bilingual book in cameroun "a practical guide ..."

Cameroon 2nd Edition - Bradt Guide,
By jdoh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cameroon (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)
The only guide book specifically for Cameroon that I could find! Good history overview and description of plants/wildlife to look out for. Also useful are several trip itineraries (1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks). Obviously, the exchange rate is out of date, but thats no fault of the publisher. The information so far looks good, but we'll see how accurate it is in a few weeks. I've had Lonely Planet books that have upside-down/mislabelled maps, so I'm hoping that this one avoids those errors.

Cameroon travel book,
By Tootieswim "Tootieswim" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cameroon (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this for a friend who will be moving soon to live in Cameroon. He and his wife are adventurers and love to see and explore their world. He was thrilled with the book and felt it would give them lots of good information and ideas about seeing the country.
