Logone River

Logone River

The Logon or Logone River is a major tributary of the Chari River. The Logone's sources are located in the western Central African Republic, northern Cameroon, and southern Chad. Many swamps and wetlands surround the river.

Settlements on the river include Moundou, Chad's second-largest city, and Kousseri, Cameroon's northernmost city. Chad's capital city, N'Djaména, is at the spot where the Logone empties into the Chari river.
