Uele

The Uele River is a river in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is also known by the phonetically similar names Uélé, Ouélé, and Welle River. The Uele River originates in the highlands near Lake Albert, at the junction of the Dungu and Kibali rivers. These rivers travel west for approximately 1,210 kilometers (750 miles) until the Uele River joins the Mbomou River at Yakoma.

The Uele River's main tributaries are the Bomokandi River (on the left bank) and the Uere River (right side). The confluence of the Uele and Mbomou rivers in Yakoma is the source of the Ubangi River, which flows into the Congo River. The Uele is the Ubangi's longest tributary. The total length of Ubangi and Uele is approximately 2,270 kilometers (1,410 mi).

Total Length: 752 miles
