The Makombé River is a river in Cameroon. It joins the Nkam River near Yabassi to become the Wouri River.[1]

History

edit

The Makombé River was encountered in the 17th century by the Bamileke tribes, who relocated to the forests from constraints of the Fulani people. The river was adjoined to a nature reserve in the 20th century, establishing the Réserve Forestière de Manya-Makombé.
