Pangani

The Pangani River (also known as Luffu and Jipe Ruvu in ancient sources, and maybe Rhaptus) is a large river in northeastern Tanzania. It has two main sources: the Ruvu, which rises as Lumi on Kilimanjaro, flows through Lake Jipe, and empties into the Nyumba ya Mungu Reservoir in Kilimanjaro Region, and the Kikuletwa, which flows from the west and is primarily fed by Mount Meru in Arusha Region, and also empties into the Nyumba ya Mungu Reservoir in Kilimanjaro Region. The stream becomes the main Pangani shortly after leaving the reservoir, and it discharges into the Indian Ocean in Tanga Region at the Tangan port town of Pangani.

One of the river's sources is Kilimanjaro, around 120 miles (190 kilometers) from the sea. The Lumi, as it is known in this region, goes through Lake Jipe. The other, known as the Kikuletwa, is located on Mount Meru in the west. Its depth changes with the season, as it does with other African rivers. The river is at its peak in May and its lowest in October.
