Ouaka

The Ouaka descends from the Ubangi watershed through the country of the Banda, passing Bambari on its way south. Its waters eventually join the Ubangi, a major tributary of the Congo. Different Banda communities inhabit the wider river country, including the Linda, Togbo, and Gbanziri. Wooded savanna in the north gives way to more open grassland farther south along the basin.

The later city of Bambari lies here.
