It arises at Lake Oku (6°11′34″N 10°27′14″E / 6.19278°N 10.45389°E) and flows south, it is joined by the Monoun River and flows south in the valley between the mountains Ngotsetzezan and Mount Yahou.[1] It turns east at about 5° N latitude.[1] Its mouth is at the Mbam River (4°54′42″N 11°06′02″E / 4.91167°N 11.10056°E), which itself is a tributary of the Sanaga River.
It forms the boundary between the Bamiléké area and the Bamun area, and played a key role in the history of the Bamileke people.[citation needed]
The Noun River was dammed at Bamendjing in 1975[2] (5°41′55″N 10°30′03″E / 5.69861°N 10.50083°E) creating a reservoir with the same name. At its maximum the reservoir is 32 km long and 276 km wide. Its surface area varies between 150 km² and 300 km².[3]
The Noun River hosts hippopotamus that can be seen all year long, in the wild parts of the river, along with many birds, such as the Palm nut Vulture, the bee-eater, the hammerkop, and the kingfisher.[citation needed]

Cameroon (/ˌkæməˈruːn/; French: Cameroun), officially the Republic of Cameroon (French: République du Cameroun), is a country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Cameroon's coastline lies on the Bight of Bonny, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Cameroon is home to more than 200 different linguistic groups. French and English are the official languages. The country is often referred to as "Africa in miniature" for its geological and cultural diversity. Natural features include beaches, deserts, mountains, rainforests, and savannas. The highest point at almost 4,100 metres (13,500 ft) is Mount Cameroon in the Southwest Region of the country, and the largest cities in population-terms are Douala on the Wouri river, its economical capital and main seaport, Yaoundé, its political capital, and Garoua. After independence, the newly united nation joined the Commonwealth of Nations, although the vast majority of its territories had previously been a German colony and, after World War I, a French mandate. The country is well known for its native styles of music, particularly makossa and bikutsi, and for its successful national football team.
