Hosséré Vokré

Hosséré Vokré is an isolated plateau in the North Region of Cameroon. It covers approximately 930 square kilometres (360 sq mi), and forms a broad u-shaped ridge that opens northwards toward the town of Poli. Its highest point is 2,049 metres (6,722 ft). ‘Hosséré' is a regional term for isolated massifs which rise above the savanna lowlands. The Hosséré Godé massif is close by to the northwest. It is separated from other mountains by lowlands less than 500 meters in elevation, including the Alantika Mountains to the northwest along the Nigeria–Cameroon border, and the Adamawa Plateau to the south.
