Cameroon is often referred to as "Africa in miniature." With good reason, as no other country on the Black Continent offers such diverse climate zones. From the impenetrable rainforest of the Congo Basin to the desert-like landscapes on the edge of the Sahara, the country encompasses nearly all vegetation zones. In twelve captivating reports, Fabian von Poser and Agnès Kah tell stories of lowland gorillas, forest elephants, and bongo antelopes, of the enchanting music of the Pygmies, and of the explosive gas mixture in Lake Nyos. They trace the footsteps of German colonial rule, travel in old French carriages to the Muslim north, visit King Abumby II, ruler of one of the smallest kingdoms on Earth, and reflect with World Cup legend Roger Milla on the king of football.
