Congo River

The first one in Top 10 Longest Rivers in Angola that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Congo River. The Congo River (Kongo: Nzâdi Kôngo, French: Fleuve Congo, Portuguese: Rio Congo), formerly known as the Zaire River, is Africa's second longest river, trailing only the Nile, and the world's second largest river by discharge volume, trailing only the Amazon. It is also the world's deepest recorded river, with depths exceeding 220 meters (720 ft). The Congo-Lualaba-Chambeshi River system is the world's ninth-longest river, with a total length of 4,700 km (2,920 mi). The Chambeshi River is a tributary of the Lualaba River, which is the name of the Congo River upstream of Boyoma Falls and runs for 1,800 kilometers (1,120 mi).

The Congo River has a total length of 4,370 km when measured with the Lualaba, its main tributary (2,715 mi). It is the only major river in the world that crosses the equator twice. The Congo Basin covers approximately 4,000,000 km2 (1,500,000 sq mi), or 13% of the total African landmass.

The Congo basin is notable for the lack of bridges that cross the main rivers, though there are a number of ferries that cross the Congo River and its major tributaries. The main reason is the narrowness of the Congo and main rivers, and the second is a lack of funds to build permanent river crossings.

Length: 4,700 km (2,900 mi- shared with Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of the Congo)
