Nkambé

Nkambé lies on a grassy plateau cut by wooded ravines in the Cameroon highlands. The Wimbum, speakers of Limbum, are thought to have reached this country between the eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. Their villages belonged to three broad clan groupings, Warr, Tang, and Wiya. The country saw some ivory trade but lay away from the principal long-distance routes, and its communities faced raids for captives.
