Cameroon failed to qualify for the 2012 and 2013 Nations Cups and suffered a disastrous 2014 World Cup.
But the Indomitable Lions shrugged off those disappointments as well as the retirement of Nations Cup all-time record goalscorer Samuel Eto'o to qualify unbeaten.
Strikers Aboubakar and Clinton N'Jie scored seven of Cameroon's nine qualifying goals.
Cameroon forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has joined Schalke on a free transfer from Bundesliga rival Mainz.

Mohamadou Idrissou is one of the five players to be dropped from Cameroon's final squad for the World Cup. The 34-year-old Kaiserslautern striker has struggled in recent times and missed a penalty in a 2:1 friendly loss to Paraguay last week. Otherwise coach Volker Finke has opted for a tried and trusted line-up for his World Cup squad.
