Welcome to the Bambui Fondom website. Bambui is the administrative headquarters of Tubah Sub-Division in the North West Region of Cameroon. Popularly known to its inhabitants as “Abeh-mbeuh,” Bambui is a jewel in the crown of the North West Region and, indeed, a place to be for anyone who wants to have a flavour of African life. With its lush, rolling, and fertile plains, a mild tropical climate, and an extremely industrious farming community, Bambui is the bread basket of the North West Region in particular and of Cameroon in general. Lying snug in the immense arms of the Sabga hill, Bambui is neatly enfolded between Sabga and the undulating foothills that separate it with its neighbours, virtually in the shape of a bowl. It is located at the cross-roads that lead to some of the region’s major towns of Bamenda, Ndop, Kumbo, Fundong, and Nkambe

With its strategic location, excellent road infrastructure, and a galaxy of educational and religious institutions such as the Institute of Agricultural Research (IRA), the Saint Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary (STAM), the Capuchin Friars, two Catholic Convents, the National Polytechnic of Bambui as well as the hospitality of the people, Bambui is metamorphosing into a metropolis, but without compromising its culture and cultural identity.

Culturally and administratively, Bambui is a fondom in its own right. Ruled by a Paramount Fon, it is made up of the sub-chiefdoms of Manju, Mallam, Matulaah, Fingeh, and Alaakubeh. Bambui fondom is a cultural powerhouse and famous for its indigenous healing temples. The culture and diversity of the people make up the beauty and charm of the fondom. This is completed by the several touristic sights and sounds such as caves, waterfalls, exotic bird species, great apes, chimpanzees, bee hives, and exotic flowers that are part of the fauna and flora. Bambui is the North West Region of Cameroon in miniature. We invite you to read through this website to discover the beauty of Bambui and the power of its people. Enjoy your reading as we look forward to welcoming you to this land that is flowing with milk and honey.
