Where Is Cameroon and What
Is It Known For?

Answer:

Cameroon river in the deep jungle in Africa.

Cameroon is in west Africa, on the Gulf of Guinea. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Cameroon's coastline lies on the Bight of Bonny, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The country is called "Africa in miniature" for its geological and cultural diversity. Natural features include beaches, deserts, mountains, rainforests, and savannas. The highest point is Mount Cameroon in the southwest, and the largest cities are Douala, Yaoundé, and Garoua. Cameroon is home to over 200 different linguistic groups. The country is well known for its native styles of music, particularly makossa and bikutsi, and for its successful national football team. English and French are the official languages.

Despite oil resources and favourable agricultural conditions, Cameroon still faces problems of underdevelopment. Oil, timber and cocoa are the main exports. France is the main trading partner.
