Makabana

Makabana lies near the meeting of the Niari and Louessé rivers. Their combined waters continue west as the Kouilou, cutting through the coastal highlands on the way to the Atlantic. The Louessé drains a broad country to the north, while the Niari crosses the plains farther east. Their confluence brings together two major waterways of the forest and savanna country.

The later city of Dolisie lies here.
