The Mambéré is a river in the Central African Republic .
course
It rises about 50 km southeast of the city of Meiganga , directly on the border with Cameroon in the prefecture Nana-Mambéré on the edge of the Adamaua highlands . From there it flows in a south-easterly direction. In its upper reaches it has only a slight gradient. At Carnot it takes up the Nana , its most important tributary. About 80 km below Carnot it changes course and flows directly south until it joins the Kadéï at Nola and thereby forms the Sangha .
