the Niger River and its source is in the Adamaoua Massif in the

Northern Region of Cameroon and gives its name to a national
park with many hippo pools. There are also 300 species of birds,
75 species of fish, numerous cobs defassa, budales, hypotragues,
giraffes, duikers and swans. Lions, buffaloes and elephants are

La Bénoué est une rivière importante de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et
Centrale, elle mesure environ 1 400 km de long. Cette rivière
est l’affluent principal du fleuve Niger et sa source se trouve
dans le massif de l’Adamaoua, au nord de la République
du Cameroun. La rivière Bénoué draine la Région Nord du
Cameroun et donne son nom à un parc national abritant de
nombreuses mares aux hippopotames. On y trouve également
300 espèces d’oiseaux, 75 espèces de poissons, de nombreux
cobs defassa, des budales, des hypotragues, des girafes, des
