Goulfey is a town and commune in the Logone-et-Chari department of Cameroon, close to the border of Chad.

Goulfey is located about 50 kilometres north of Kousséri and is separated by the Logone River.

The Arabs found people embedded in ancestral traditions, locally known as the cult of the Varan, which is considered the symbol of Goulfey and a spiritual element of protection and divination.

It was often believed that the spirits were known as the Gbwéi-gbwéi, who collaborated with the people through the traditional priest to offer household food, such as honey and milk to the Varans, housed in the tower.

The famous military emperor was Rabah, who came from Egypt to Goulfey in an aim to convert locals to Islam and taking slaves.
