Travora
/ Norway
Majestic fjords, northern lights and breathtaking nature
Norway is a dream for nature lovers: deep glacier-carved fjords, soaring mountains, colourful fishing villages and, in winter, the magical dance of the northern lights. For a Cameroonian traveller, it is a total change of scene, a world away from tropical heat, with landscapes of striking purity. Oslo and Bergen offer culture, design and cuisine, while the Lofoten Islands and the Flåm railway rank among the world's finest journeys. The country is expensive but unforgettable. As a Schengen member, Norway requires a visa that Cameroonians must obtain in advance.
