Hunting in Far North Cameroon: Discover Arid Plains, Saharan Wildlife, Endangered Traditions, and Borderland Conservation in Cameroon’s Northernmost Region Sahelian landscapes, dry riverbeds, and rare desert-adapted fauna Far North Cameroon, locally known as the “Extrême-Nord,” is a strikingly different world from the dense forests of the country’s southern half. This region is defined by its Sahelian climate — hot, dry, and marked by seasonal extremes. Flat plains, rocky outcrops, dry riverbeds (called "mayos"), and pockets of acacia and baobab trees create a semi-desert biome where only the most resilient species survive. The region borders Nigeria and Chad, and is home to Waza National Park and Kalamaloué National Park — two critical conservation areas. Hunting here requires adaptation to the open terrain and searing heat, and it connects deeply with ancient survival practices and shifting ecological balances.
