What to Know About Boumba-et-Ngoko

Key Facts

Boumba-et-Ngoko is a department located in the East Region of Cameroon, situated in the southeasternmost part of the country along the border with the Central African Republic and the Republic of Congo. This remote department covers approximately 30,389 square kilometers of predominantly forested terrain within the Congo Basin, making it one of Cameroon's largest departments by area though sparsely populated with around 117,000 inhabitants. Boumba-et-Ngoko is administratively divided into four communes - Yokadouma, Moloundou, Gari-Gombo, and Salapoumbé - each serving as important administrative centers for this vast, biodiverse region. The department takes its name from the Boumba and Ngoko rivers that flow through its territory, with the Ngoko River forming part of the international border with the Republic of Congo. Much of Boumba-et-Ngoko falls within protected areas, including the Boumba Bek and Nki National Parks, which harbor significant populations of forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and chimpanzees. The department's economy is primarily based on subsistence agriculture, hunting, and small-scale logging, with limited infrastructure connecting its scattered settlements. For those seeking to access postal services or communicate with residents across this expansive department, understanding its administrative subdivisions and their corresponding postal codes is essential for effective mail delivery and communication.
