The Noun river flows through the West Province of Cameroon.

It forms the boundary between the Bamiléké area and the Bamun area, and played a historical role in the history of the Bamileke people.

It comes out of the Artificial lake of Bamendjing and is a tributary of the Mbam River. Its main tributary is the Mifi river.


It hosts many Hippopotamus that can be seen all year long, in the wild parts of the river, along with many birds (Palm nut Vulture, bee-eater,hammerkop, kingfisher...)
