Countries that border Cameroon
6 land neighbours: the Central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
6 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 6 land borders are joint 4th-most in Africa — level with Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Guinea, Libya, Mozambique, South Sudan, Chad and South Africa. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 5 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. The Central African Republic and Chad are joint most connected of them, with 6 land borders each. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Cameroon, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.
