The Cameroon Grasslands — the high plateau region of the Northwest and West Regions — is home to one of the most extraordinary concentrations of living royal heritage in all of Africa. The Bamiléké people, one of the most entrepreneurial and culturally rich peoples on the continent, have maintained a system of chieftaincies and kingdoms of extraordinary sophistication — with elaborate palaces, sacred forests, and royal ceremonies that have survived centuries of colonial disruption.

Bafut, home to one of Cameroon's most powerful Fons (traditional rulers), is famous for its extraordinary palace complex — a UNESCO-listed site where the Fon's palace, sacred forest, and traditional court remain living institutions of remarkable power and authenticity. Foumban, the capital of the Bamoun Kingdom, is home to the extraordinary Sultan's Palace — one of the finest examples of traditional African palace architecture on the continent.
