WEBSITE   ABOUT    SERVICES     TESTIMONIALS    BOOK ENAKA    BLOG    CONTACT October 2nd, 2014 Greetings! It's always a great pleasure for me to share with you. This week we'll talk about COURAGE. Courage is defined as the ability to do something that frightens one. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong! There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs." Courage is a crucial attribute to possess in order to be successful. Contrary to what most people believe, courage is a skill that can be learned and acquired. 7 Steps that helped me develop courage. 1. Dream big. "Passion fuels the rocket, but vision-a big dream- points the rocket to its ultimate destination" ~ Steve Jobs 2. Step out of your comfort zone. You've got to push yourself out of your comfort zone in order to leverage your skills to create positive new outcomes for yourself. 3. Face your fears. "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it " -Victor Hugo 4. Take responsibility for your actions and results. Responsibility takes courage. Be responsible for all your thoughts and actions. 5. Be ready to make mistakes. Mistakes are part of the process. Learn from and use them to sharpen your judgement. 6. Be independent. Take control of your life. Have faith in yourself at the most fundamental level. The most important person that needs to approve of you is YOU! 7. Be confident. Feel good about yourself and realize hat you have great potential. Believe that you can do it. Remember that you are unique. No one else possesses your potential. Tap into it courageously. "This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don't wait." - Natalie Goldberg. You were born to succeed. GROW to success. I hope these tips help you as much as they helped me.

Simonetta SOMMARUGA received at Unity Palace

The Head of State His Excellency Paul BIYA granted audience to the visiting Vice-President of the Swiss Confederation, Simonetta SOMMARUGA, on Saturday 27 September 2014 for discussions on the bilateral relations between the two countries.

Speaking to the press at the end of the audience that lasted well over one a half hour, the Vice-President of the Swiss Confederation, who is also the Chief of the Federal Department of Justice and the Police, told the press that the discussions with the Head of State dwelt mainly on migration. This is a matter of great concern to all Nations, she said, as she is coming to Cameroon when the country has an influx of refugees from neighbouring countries.

Simonetta SOMMARUGA was accompanied to Unity Palace by Mario GATTIKER, Secretary of State, Director of the Office of Migrations and Claude ALTERMATT, Swiss Ambassador to Cameroon.

The Head of State was assisted during the audience by the Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic, Ferdinand NGOH NGOH.

• HEALTH

Health formalities: only the yellow fever vaccine is compulsory in Cameroon. Hepatitis vaccine is advised.

• TOURISM

Located between West and East Africa and stretching from the Gulf of Guinea to Lake Chad, Cameroon presents specificities in terms of its relief, climate, wildlife and vegetation which provide throughout the year various forms of tourism : sea-side tourism, mountain tourism, congress and business tourism, safari and hunting tourism, eco-tourism and cultural tourism.

SEA-SIDE TOURISM

Cameroon’s 400 km coastline is propitious for sea-side tourism, the key attractions of which are picturesque bays, natural and sandy beaches, islands, mangroves and waterfalls dropping directly into the ocean.

SAFARI AND HUNTING TOURISM

Cameroon has seven national parks including the Waza Park in the Far North Region which is home to animals that are a reflection of African wildlife (elephants, lions, giraffes, black rhinoceros, panthers, buffalos, antelopes, hippopotamus, hyenas, gorillas, hartebeest, cheetahs, etc...). Apart from national parks where hunting is prohibited, the northern region of Cameroon has 14 game areas with over 500 km of tracks suitable for motor vehicles.

ECO-TOURISM

The taking into account of environmental concerns in tourism development projects in Cameroon has led to the classification and protection of natural sites for scientific and ecological reasons.

In particular, the Korup National Park which harbours plant species several million years old, the Dja Reserve classified a World Heritage by UNESCO, Mount Cameroon, 4 070m high, with a quaternary vegetation cover, or the Mayo-Rey sites that still present dinosaur footprints.

CULTURAL TOURISM

Cultural tourism draws its wealth from the diversity of the Cameroonian way of life, handicraft, folklore, religion, housing, cuisine and the country’s very rich historical heritage. 

CONGRESS AND BUSINESS TOURISM

The major cities of Douala and Yaounde, thanks to their international-standing infrastructure, (conference centre, international airports and international-class hotels) are the main drivers of congress and business tourism development.

The following police formalities are required:

 - Visa : the maximum validity for a tourist visa is three months with multiple entries and exits. If you intend to stay with friends, ask them to send you a duly certified and stamped lodging certificate. The visa is issued by Cameroon’s diplomatic and consular representations abroad. However, if you are coming from a country where Cameroon is not represented, you can obtain a visa at the border post.

 - Valid passport

Airport tax:

 - International flight: 10 000 CFA F

 - Domestic flight: 500 CFA F
