Dimako

Dimako is the name of a sub-division district and small town situated in Upper Nyong Division of the East Province of Cameroon, Africa. It lies a few meters south of East Province capital of Bertoua. The local language is Kwakum, spoken by the population of around 10,000.

National Road 10 passes through Dimako. Due to the humidity in this area it makes the area mosquito- and blackfly-infested, thus its forests sees little tourism.

There are several attempts at developing sustainable tropical rain forestry projects in the area, including the Dimako Council Forest.

Illegal and indiscriminate logging is a problem in the area, and especially in natural forest stands. Rougier Ocean operates a veneer and plywood factory at Dimako. This and other wood processing factories have attracted immigration to this sparsely-populated area.
