It’s safe to say there’s something for everyone in Cameroon, from the leisure lounger to the adventurous thrill seeker.

Rwanda, renowned in the past for its political news, hasn't been a very popular destination. However, this small country in East Africa is full of hidden treasures. Its volcanic relief hosts a surprisingly rich flora and fauna. The mountains of the Volcanoes National Park thus shelter one of the last populations of wild gorillas. In the West, you can relax in the crystal clear turquoise water of Lake Kivu, one of the only African lakes where swimming is possible. In addition, the capital of Rwanda, Kigali, and the city of Butare are essential steps to fully understand the history of the country.

An unknown African archipelago, Sao Tome and Principe is nestled in the heart of the Gulf of Guinea 300 kilometers off the coast of Gabon. Also called "Chocolate Island" or "Volcano Island", the Sao Tome archipelago has retained all its authenticity and originality. The islands are like tropical paradises with their white sandy beaches bordered by palm trees, their crystal clear waters and unexplored jungles. Lush forests and fertile plains are crossed by torrents which then flow into the Atlantic Ocean. Impressive ferns, hundreds of species of orchids and other epiphytic plants flourish in these forests, refuge of flocks of butterflies and birds are a "must".

Surrounded by Eritrea and Ethiopia, Djibouti is a very small country, independent from France since 1977. It benefits from splendid seabed. Its hot spring lakes are surrounded by natural lunar and desert landscapes. The vision of a sunrise over a lake at the edge of which colonies of flamingos gather is magical. Fields of black lava, mysterious natural chimneys spewing steam and sunburned plains stretching as far as the eye can see give the impression of a journey through time. By adding its nomadic tribes, the scenery is total.
