Details about this festival are being verified.
High in Cameroon's Bamenda Grassfields, the Kingdom of Oku occupies some of the country's most ecologically distinctive terrain, centered on Lake Oku and the Kilum-Ijim forest, a montane ecosystem that has become a conservation priority precisely because so little Afromontane forest remains intact elsewhere in West Africa.
Oku's economy and identity are closely tied to its honey, a pale, protected product harvested from hives kept in the biodiverse Kilum-Ijim forest, one of the last major stretches of Afromontane forest in West Africa
The festival pairs that ecological distinction with Grassfields royal tradition centered on the Fon's palace, including masked dance societies whose elephant-mask performances are among the most recognizable ceremonial forms in the wider Bamenda highlands region
