The "City of Seven Hills" at 750 m in the Cameroonian highlands — officially bilingual (French and English, one of only two African countries) since the 1961 reunification of French Cameroun and British Southern Cameroons, capital of the country sometimes called "Africa in miniature" for containing nearly every ecological zone on the continent within one country, where the most immediate wildlife encounter is the Mefou Primate Sanctuary (20 km south: 310 orphaned chimpanzees and 30 western lowland gorillas rescued from the bushmeat trade) and the most important cultural art is the Bamiléké elephant mask and bronze casting tradition of the Grassfields kingdoms.
