St. Kitts & Nevis
The UNESCO fortress of Brimstone Hill and the panoramic sugar-train railway.
Saint Kitts and Nevis is a small two-island volcanic nation, among the most authentic in the Caribbean. Here you visit the imposing Brimstone Hill Fortress, the 'Gibraltar of the West Indies' and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, ride the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, a former sugar train turned panoramic ride, and unwind on golden- and black-sand beaches. For a Cameroonian passport, a visa is required but is obtained online via the official e-Visa.
