Oku

Oku Mountain, also known as Kilum Mountain, one of the highest mountains in Cameroon, rising to a height of 9,250 feet (2,819 meters). Oku is the largest of the four volcanoes that make up the Cameroon Volcanic Line's Oku Massif portion. The mountain is found in the Western High Plateau region of the country, which is characterized by mastiffs, mountains, and savanna flora.

A massive caldera cuts through the mountain, creating Lake Oku, a crater lake. The oldest rocks that make up the mountain are nearly 25 million years old, and the Kilum-Ijim forest, which is the biggest remaining remnant of montane forest in West Africa and home to several rare plant species, is located surrounding the peak. The area also features West Africa's highest spagnum (peat moss) bog.
