Cameroon

The Extreme North of Cameroon (north of Maroua) is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. There are spectacular rock formations of the Mandara Mountains (Rhumsiki, Kapsiki) close to the Nigerian Border. Traditional villages with round huts, where visitors can experience authentic local culture. The hillside villages subsist mainly through terrace farming (sorghum). One of the most famous of these villages is Rhumsiki, which is stunningly situated in rugged mountain scenery. The market (on Thursdays) of Tourou with women wearing kalebasses is worth a visit and Col de Koza which welcomes foreigners warmly to get an insight in the traditional culture of weaving, iron producing and the sorcerer with the crab predicts your future.
