Mount Kupe, Granite volcanic mountain in Koupé-Manengouba, Cameroon

Mount Kupe rises to 2064 meters in elevation, featuring primary mid-altitude rainforests on its slopes and small grassy clearings near the summit.

During the 1890s, European missionaries documented the strong magical reputation of Mount Kupe among local populations in the Western High Plateau.

The Bakossi people consider Mount Kupe the residence of their ancestral and forest spirits, integrating the mountain into their traditional beliefs.

The northern slopes above Nyasoso village contain the most preserved forest territories, offering opportunities for nature observation between 300 and 1500 meters.

The mountain supports 330 bird species and serves as a critical habitat for endangered primates, including chimpanzees and rare bush shrikes.
