Cameroon (French: Cameroun) is in Central Africa. It borders 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.\nWhile Cameroon is not the largest country in Africa, in some ways it's as large as Africa itself. Known as "Africa in Miniature" it features French- and English-speaking portions, Muslim- and Christian-dominated regions, the tallest mountain in Central Africa and terrain that includes rain forest, desert plains, mountains and high plateau.
