Nyong

The Nyong flows westward through the forests of southern Cameroon before reaching the Atlantic. In its middle valley, the river passes a rock known as Akom Vimli, above which a Bene community made its home. The Bene belong to the wider Beti-speaking peoples of the forest country. The river's long course joins inland reaches and wooded banks with the coastal plain, although rapids interrupt navigation along parts of it.
