The capital of seven hills
Yaoundé is Cameroon's capital, spread across green hills in the south of the country. The National Museum occupies the former presidential palace, and the Reunification Monument marks the joining of the formerly French and British parts of Cameroon. On Mont Febe, the Benedictine monastery houses a museum of traditional art. The Mvog-Betsi Zoo cares for rescued primates, and the markets of Mokolo and Mfoundi are lively. The city is a base for the forests of the south.
