US Department Of State Post Report
A trip to northern Cameroon offers by far the most striking change of scenery, climate, and culture. Its sparsely vegetated savanna terrain, scorching temperatures, Moslem culture, and primitive ambiance contrast starkly with the more developed southern parts of the country. Among several game reserves, Waza is considered one of the best in West Africa. During the dry season, many varieties of wild game are easily viewed as the animals congregate at the few remaining waterholes. Although a journey to the north is long and expensive and the climate hot and dusty, these factors should not deter those interested in a unique African experience. About 12 days are needed if traveling entirely by road.

The World Economic Forum's Africa Competitiveness Report 2000-2001, published in conjunction with the Harvard Institute for International Development, has top-ranked Tanzania in a survey of African nations' efforts to improve economic and investment conditions. The Report, issued in July, placed Tanzania number one out of twenty-four countries on its index for the correction of initial economic conditions in recent years. The Report also ranked Tanzania number two on the African continent for optimism for future growth. Harvard Professor Jeffrey Sachs, a co-author of the report, visited Tanzania in July to encourage continued economic reform on Tanzania's part, as well as stronger efforts on the part of western donor countries to cancel Tanzania's remaining external debts. In private meetings with President Mkapa and other governmen ... [Read More]
