Established in 2007 by Prime Ministerial Decree N° 2007/1459/PM, Bakossi National Park covers 29,320 hectares of pristine wilderness in the Kupe-Muanenguba Division of Cameroon’s South West Region. It is the only national park in the Cameroon Highlands Forest Eco-region, making it an ecological gem of national and global importance.

Rising from 300 meters to 1,895 meters above sea level, the park is a mosaic of diverse habitats — from lush sub-montane forests and semi-deciduous Atlantic forests, to the expansive cloud forests of Bakossi, the largest of their kind in West and Central Africa.

Bakossi National Park is home to:

• Over 2,400 plant species, with 82 found nowhere else on Earth.
• A wealth of wildlife, including endangered primates such as the Drill, Chimpanzee, Preuss’s Monkey, Red Colobus, and Red-capped Mangabey.
• The famous Goliath frog, the largest frog in the world, alongside other rare amphibians and reptiles.
