Congo River

Inga Falls are located on the lower Congo River in the western Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are situated approximately 25 miles (40 km) upstream from the port of Matadi, positioned at a sharp bend in the river between Sikila Island and the mouth of the Bundi River. These rapids are part of the Livingstone Falls series, which spans the stretch of the river between Kinshasa and Matadi.12
