Cameroon Birding tours are hold great interest amongst tourists as well as amongst ornithologists. Bird watching tours in Cameroon are conducted by several tour operators. They conduct tours to areas where birds migrate and settle in large numbers. Some such areas are found near the regions of Mount Kupe, Mbrombi Crater lake, Mount Cameroon and Korup National Park. On these expeditions one can come across rare species of birds and that too in their natural habitat. The region known as the Afrotropics is the home to about 900 species of birds. There is no other region in West Africa with such a huge population of birds. Of these numerous species 26 have been identified as endemic, that is they are found in the region in the alone and not in any other part of the world. The topography of the region, the semi-arid land makes it suitable for the dry country birds.
