Nkam River

It is known to tourists for the spectacular Chutes d'Ekom, an 80 metres (260 ft) high waterfall about 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Bafang.

[1] To the south of the town of Dschang, the Santchou Faunal Reserve lies to the east of the river.

The ponds are invaded by weedy grasses and shrubs during the early part of the rainy season, from April until July.

Normally, the Nkam river floods from July to October, when fish migrate to the ponds.

Between January and March the water retreats, the ponds are drained and the fish harvested.
