Lubefu

The Lubefu winds through the country of the Sankuru, joining that river above Bena Dibele. Rising on the Kabinda plateau, it runs north before turning west toward the Sankuru, whose waters in turn reach the Kasai. The river is narrow and swift in places, and trees overhang stretches of its winding channel. Along its banks the forest gives way to the waterways of the central Congo basin.
