First Taste – Douala, Cameroon
I once was planning a trip to West Africa and was telling a friend about it. He told me he really wanted to go to Cameroon, which was not one of the countries I had originally considered. This was back in the early naughties. I didn’t go until my third venture to Cameroon. I’m not …

For those flying into Ethiopia, odds are you will be flying into the capital, you’ll be landing at …
