It's got jungle, savannah, mountains, beaches, and a footie team which became world famous during the Italia '90 world cup. Bigger than this though for the Cameroonians is the African Cup of Nations, this country is truly football crazy.

Budget Accommodation in Cameroon.
There's not much in the way of backpacker hostels but you can find a dorm bed in a religious mission instead for a bit of novelty value. Otherwise there are plenty of cheap hotels and guest houses to choose from which shouldn't set you back and more than around US$13 a night.
A Traveller's Budget for Cameroon
The cheapest way to travel around Cameroon is by bus, the services are very competetive and so the prices are low. Otherwise there are a couple of routes covered by train, although these are a little more expensive.
There is street food everywhere in Cameroon so there's no need to ever go hungry, it mainly consists of some kind of rice dish with meat, fish or a starchy grain dish. Sandwiches and things like fresh fruit and veg are also really easy to come by so you can stay healthy as well!
