City

Kabalo

Middle Africa

Kabalo is a town in Tanganyika Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It lies on the Lualaba River and is the administrative center of Kabalo territory. The town matters chiefly as a transport junction: it is where railway lines meet, one running north and one running east to Lake Tanganyika, and it is served by Kabalo Airport. The combination of river, rail and air access makes it a point of connection within the interior of the country.
