Mambilla Plateau, Mountain range and plateau in Taraba State, Nigeria
The Mambilla Plateau rises to 2419 meters above sea level, featuring green valleys, mountains, and numerous waterfalls across its 96-kilometer length.
Five major ethnic groups established settlements on the plateau, which later served as a slave trade route for Muslim Fulani kingdoms during the 1800s.
The Mambilla, Chamba, and Fulani communities maintain their individual traditions through ceremonies, dances, and agricultural practices on the plateau.
December and January offer the most suitable travel conditions, with direct taxis from Jalingo City center requiring six hours to reach the destination.
The Ngel Yaki mountain forest contains rare bird species, while tea plantations thrive in the cool climate conditions of the plateau.
