Est Postal Codes, Cameroon
There is no official postal code or zip code for Est, as the Cameroon postal service does not use codes for sorting or "door-to-door" delivery. The system relies almost exclusively on P.O. Boxes (French: Boîte Postale or BP). If an online form requires a mandatory code, 00000 (five zeros) can be used as a placeholder, but this is not an official code. For successful delivery, a valid P.O. Box (BP) number is essential. A sample P.O. Box address is: [Recipient Name], BP [XXXX], Est, Cameroon.

What to Know About Est
Key Facts
Est is one of the ten administrative regions of Cameroon, located in the eastern part of the country. This sparsely populated region covers approximately 109,002 square kilometers, making it the largest region in Cameroon by area, yet it has one of the lowest population densities with fewer than 1 million inhabitants. Bordered by the Central African Republic to the east and the Republic of Congo to the south, Est is characterized by dense tropical rainforests that form part of the Congo Basin, with the Sanaga River flowing through its western portion. The region is divided into four departments: Boumba-et-Ngoko, Haut-Nyong, Kadey, and Lom-et-Djérem, with Bertoua serving as the regional capital. Much of Est's territory consists of protected areas, including the Dja Faunal Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich biodiversity. The region's economy is primarily based on forestry, subsistence agriculture, and small-scale mining, with limited infrastructure development compared to other parts of Cameroon.
