Etsima is a small village located in the northern region of Cameroon. It is situated in the Mayo-Kebbi East Province, approximately 100 kilometers east of the provincial capital, Yaounde. The village is known for its agricultural activities, with residents primarily cultivating crops such as maize, cassava, and yams. Etsima is also home to a small population of livestock, including cattle and goats, which are raised for both meat and milk.

The village has a population of around 500 people, with the majority of residents belonging to the Bamilike ethnic group. The local language spoken in Etsima is Bamilike, although French is also widely understood and used for official purposes. The village has a basic primary school that provides education for children in the community.

Etsima is connected to the rest of Cameroon by a network of dirt roads, which can be challenging to navigate during the rainy season. The village has access to basic healthcare services, with a small clinic staffed by local health workers. The village also has a small market where residents can buy and sell goods.

Despite its small size, Etsima plays an important role in the local economy, providing agricultural products to nearby towns and cities. The village is also home to a small number of artisans who produce traditional crafts, such as baskets and pottery, which are sold at local markets. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in promoting tourism in the region, with efforts being made to develop Etsima as a destination for eco-tourism.
