Kisangani Waterfalls Group

First, the longest waterfall group

In the upper reaches of the Congo River in Africa, there are many waterfalls, forming the longest waterfall in the world-Kisangani Waterfall Group. These waterfalls are mainly distributed on the 100 km long river, large and small, which are spectacular. Among them, 7 waterfalls are relatively large, and the drop is not very big. The largest one is 800 meters wide and the drop is about 50 meters.

There are also a series of waterfalls downstream, including Livingston Waterfall with a drop of 280 meters. These fast-flowing waterfalls are rich in water resources and are natural power stations, which can provide amazing electricity every year. For local shipping, this waterfall is very distressing, because many waterfalls have brought great influence to shipping.

The terrain with abundant water, extremely fast flow speed and large drop has greatly affected the shipping on the Congo River. In the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Congo River, railways are segmented, where there are waterfalls, there are railways, and where there are no waterfalls, there are shipping. There are railways on the Congo River shipping, which is also a major feature of the local area.
