So amazing a country. Too nice pictures, I miss this beloved country. My time-and-again discussion with anyone is "visit Cameroon" This is a country with 92% of African biodiversity, hundreds of ethnic groups and languages, christians and muslims living together and enjoying the treasures of their mother land, etc. We say NO to external infiltrators!!!!

Excellent "visit" to Camerron. It has been 37 years since we travelled some of those roads. So many have not changed that much! Thanks for your keen eyes.

Hi everone Firstly, thank you so much for you pics. Fond memories of going to school and living in th e tea estates at Ndu. and visiting Bamenda and Douala frequently have been the highlights of my life. Would dearly love to contact Samdumu Edward Dupli who was in school with me in Ndu High School in 1975-76. I, now wish, I could back and taste the raw freshness of earthy living that was resurecuted in your beautiful images. thanks for sharing them. Rohini

BlessedAnywhere		15-Jan-2009 17:51
It is refreshing to see that we have such a paradise back home, but regretful that we ignorantly left it for the aridness and slavery of the west. Thanks for refreshing our memories.

Eric Cowell		23-Nov-2008 23:32
Loved these pictures. I worked in Bambui in 1958 and opened Bambui Experimental Station. We lived at 8000 feet above Sabga, later moving to Bambui Farmhouse We loved Cameroon. Farm then had 300 head of Gudali and Ngaundere Gudali cattle. Still miss it.

Guest		18-Nov-2008 18:00
This is just wonderful to see how beautiful home looks like in coloured photos. I am pround to show to others that this is how NW Prov. looks like. Thanks for a marvellous work done Bih

Men, I am living in a desert. I can't believe this is the Kumbo I left behind. incredible photos. hi Ken Verdze and Kumla Judy.

Che Sunday		15-Oct-2008 01:44
Why would anyone in their right mind forgo this beautiful scenery of nature in exchange for pictures of down town Yaounde, Douala or any of those very ill-planned cities of hours? The scenes in these are what keep bringing me back to Cameroon. Its not the hustling and bustling of confusion in the cities. Just look at the plum tree loaded with fruits or the plantains and pineapples. You don't find them anywhere in the world like they are in Cameroon. Please, keep the images coming bro. Thanks a million.

ann carlie		17-Jun-2008 14:13
ive been looking for photos of my man's home country and this site provided me what i want to see.amazing pictures!i love nature and seeing the beautiful green sorroundings of cameroon makes me feel that its a blessed country. I cant wait to visit Cameroon.thank you fos hsaring these photos

Michael Asableke Tazanu		06-May-2008 01:43
I do notlike all the pictures that I see. In particular, I do not like the the emphasis on the backward pictres in villages. I wish that theer were moe modern pics of Cameroon such as those of Downtown Yaounde or Douala. I wish there was more of a balance. These Pictures only hepl to reinforce the negative backward veiws that people not in Africa have of Africa.

Guest		27-Apr-2008 14:29
Thanks for the fascinating pictures of sceneries from the North West province. When I look at them a number of things spring to mind, namely: Cameroon is a beautiful country, it is a rich country naturally, the people are economically motivated, the economy has potentials yet something does not add up.

Hey all, this is a great idea man... I'm Peter Njodzeka and I've been working to see that our villages are developed. Actually am the CEO/Founder of an NGO called Life & Water Development Group - Cameroon and you can visit our website at: www.lwdgc-africa.org or send us an e-mail to: info@lwdgc-africa.org I have been working in the villages of Kumbo to provide clean drinkable water, volunteer opportunities to see that our villages and town be developed. And presently I need water projects to be able to implement through my US partners, so I apply also to all that visit this site to write to me and submit their water projects and other developmental projects. Thank you so much for the pictures man. CIAO

Katie McLane		19-Mar-2008 17:52
Hey, Thomas, when are we going to Cameroon? :) Katie

Greg E. Fonsah		16-Mar-2008 19:12
Impressive work. This is really Cameroon in "miniature". I totally agree with one of the commentators that "Cameroon is Africa in One". I would also like to ask your permission to use some of these slides/photographs for educational purposes only. Once more, wonderful job and thanks for educating those of us who never had or seized the the opportunity to visit this beautiful part of Cameroon.

These are beautiful pictures. I am now really looking forward to my trip to Kumbo next year. Please, more pictures of Cameroon.

Guest		29-Jul-2007 01:05
These images are so beautiful, and nearly brought tears to my eyes as I remember driving up from Douala, through Bamenda, through Kumbo, through Ndu and finally to Nkambe, where I stayed from 1994-1996. Wonderful people, wonderful land, tough lives. I remember the trip down to Sabongari from Ndu as well. That road was quite exciting!

Daniel		12-Jun-2007 03:39
