Home›Rivers›Rivers of AfricaGroupRivers of AfricaRivers whose course runs mainly through Africa, grouped here by continent for browsing rather than mixed into one worldwide list: the Nile, the Congo, the Niger and the Zambezi are among the entries filed here. Each entry records the river's length, its source and mouth, and the countries its course passes through, so a reader comparing rivers within one continent is not also comparing across continents with very different scales.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonLongest River Length (km)Well-attested6650 1Browse ByAll Rivers of AfricaRivers of Africa22 entriesRivers of AfricaFilter Results22 entriesWater Body TypeAllRivers of Africa (22)ContinentAllAfrica (22)Area or Depth BandAll15,100 to 115,000 sq km (1)797,000 to 161,760,000 sq km (4)Flows ThroughAllAngola (4)Benin (1)Botswana (3)Burkina Faso (1)Cameroon (1)Central African Republic (2)Chad (1)Democratic Republic of the Congo (3)Egypt (1)Ethiopia (4)Gambia (1)Ghana (1)Guinea (2)Kenya (1)Lesotho (1)Mali (2)Mauritania (1)Mozambique (2)Namibia (4)Niger (1)Nigeria (2)Republic of the Congo (1)Senegal (2)Somalia (2)South Africa (3)South Sudan (2)Sudan (3)Tanzania (1)Uganda (2)Zambia (1)Zimbabwe (2)Shaped ByAllDelta Formation (1)Epeirogeny (2)Fluvial Erosion (1)River Capture (1)LengthAll2,574 to 9,600 km (4)725 to 1,120 km (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 22Benue RiverRivers4 linksBlue NileRivers4 linksChari RiverRivers4 linksCunene RiverRivers4 linksGambia RiverRivers7 linksJuba RiverRivers3 linksKasai RiverRivers4 linksLimpopo RiverRivers7 linksNiger RiverRivers13 linksOkavango RiverRivers5 linksOrange RiverRivers7 linksRufiji RiverRivers3 linksSenegal RiverRivers5 linksShebelle RiverRivers3 linksTana RiverRivers2 linksThe Congo RiverRivers10 linksThe NileRivers22 linksUbangi RiverRivers4 linksVaal RiverRivers3 linksVolta RiverRivers4 linksWhite NileRivers4 linksZambezi RiverRivers11 linksSources1.
