In 2002, the estate was privatized, leading to significant changes in its management and operations.
Geography Buea has a subtropical highland climate, with high humidity because of its location at the foot of Mount Cameroon. Neighborhoods at higher elevations experience cooler temperatures, while neighborhoods at lower elevations experience hotter temperatures.

During the dry season, Bonduma has undergone increasingly common water shortages.
