For those who visit the southern part, normally receive rain occasionally annually. This usually takes place in the months of June and October. The climate in the north is dry with a diverse summer wet season between mid-April and October. But the best months to visit Cameroon and have a memorable experience is the winter months between November and February. Keep in mind that in this period, the Harmattan haze may be a problem.

Cameroon is a superior African tourist destination with olden times, traditions and an epitome of scenes which might put it in Africa. It is also relatively peaceful and unscarred by the regional propensity for horror. Although politically rigid, it is not a dictatorship, and although a little sharp, it is nowhere near as corrupt as its neighbors.
Situated in the elbow of the Gulf Of Guinea, Cameroon straddles three political regions. With its toes dipped in the central African equatorial zone, its face pressed against the brawny haunches of the Niger Delta, and its elbows up in the Lake Chad region, Cameroon is all things to all people. It is ostensibly bilingual, although the Francophone element outnumbers the Anglophone, and with 280 distinct ethnic groups within the country, the indigenous languages outnumber them both.
Perchance a good number of prominent victories of the nation on the world period were the raid of the national soccer squad, the unconquerable Lions, into the quarter finals of the FIFA World cup held in Italy in 1990. This was the highest splendor of a state which lives, eats and breathes soccer.
