North Cameroon
North, it is the touristic part of Cameroon with its natural reserves and its traditional villages.
But it is also the least developed part.
Apart from tourism, confined at some places, the cotton which is exported, seems to be the only
other source of income.
North it is already a Sahelian climate.
The landscapes, the habitats point out Mali.
Even the food practices are those of the
Sahelian countries with amongst other things the ball of millet and
its green sauce (thô in Mali)
It is also an area with Moslem predominance, although certain animists
make resistance and that catholic missions still try...
To discover by foot
North is favourable for trekkings. The small mountainous massifs, where the animists withdrew themselves to flee
the projection of the Moslems coming from North, offer many possibilities
of walks through villages which remained far from modern civilization.
The attraction of the latter inevitably
depopulates these mountains and involves the disappearance of their culture.
