North Juma

North Juma lies in the river country of the lower Kwilu, also recorded under the name Djuma. The Kwilu flows north through the Kasai basin, receiving streams from the plateaus to either side. Near its mouth it meets the Kwango and the broad waters of the Kasai, which continue westwards to the Congo. Forest and river channels mark the low-lying landscape.

The later city of Bandundu lies nearby.
