Living in CAMEROON | How People Live in Africa’s Most Unbelievable Country | TRAVEL 4K

Cameroon is called "Africa in Miniature" — and that is not a slogan, it's a geography report. Five climate zones inside one set of borders.

Wake up in the Far North and the wind on your face comes off the edge of the Sahara. Drive south, and by evening you're standing under rainforest older than the Amazon. Same country, same day. In this 33-minute travel documentary we cross all of it — 250 ethnic groups, 279 languages, and two official languages that are English AND French.

We climb Mount Cameroon, the highest peak in West and Central Africa at 13,255 feet, which a Carthaginian sailor named "Chariot of the Gods" around 500 BC. We go looking for the Cross River gorilla, the rarest great ape left on Earth, protected by sixteen local eco-guards and nine villages. We stand at Lobé Falls near Kribi, where a river does not join another river — it falls straight into the Atlantic Ocean.

Then it gets stranger. Foumban, where Sultan Ibrahim Njoya invented an entire writing system from scratch with no alphabet to copy from. Bimbia, where a chief blesses home the descendants of people who left in chains. Rhumsiki in the Mandara Mountains, where a blacksmith reads the future in a crab. Baka women in the southeast forest who play the river itself like a drum. And a few seconds of makossa, recorded by Manu Dibango on a B-side in 1972, that ended up on the best-selling album in history.

Plus what it actually costs, when to go, the eVisa, and the rules that save you trouble on the ground.

Tell me in the comments where in the world you're watching from — and what time it is where you are.
