Locals call Yaoundé the ‘Town of the Seven Hills’ thanks to its contrasts of high and low ground — although those highs and lows can also be applied to the city’s neighbourhoods, which are a mix of well-planned new quarters and decaying districts. Such contrasts are a reality in the day-to-day life of urban dwellers in Yaoundé and Cameroon as a whole, but that shouldn’t put you off seeing this city. With eco reserves to explore, historic sites to see, and wonderful people to meet, Yaoundé is a must-stop in West Africa.

Over 70% of Ugandans still visit traditional health practitioners, and there are tens of thousands of healers in the country. Traditional medicine is a holistic concept that places individuals in relationship to other men, to nature, and to the Universe. Sickness is seen as an imbalance caused by lack of harmony (and is not a physiological or biological malfunctioning). Traditional medicine is often preferred in Uganda, as they provide cultural approaches, are more accessible, and far more affordable than medical doctors. The three most common types of traditional health practitioners are 1) Herbalists: using ingredients from nature to cure diseases; 2) spiritualists: calling upon spirits to heal and 3) traditional birth attendants.
