The Lualaba River, in red The Lualaba River (French: Rivière Lualaba, Kongo: Nzâdi Luâlâmba, Swahili: Mto Lualamba) is a river within the Congo River watershed that flows entirely within the eastern part of Democratic Republic of the Congo. Although the Chambeshi River is recognized as the source of the Congo, the Lualaba provides the greatest streamflow to the Congo. The Lualaba is 1,800 kilometres (1,100 mi) long. Its headwaters are in the country's far southeastern corner near Musofi and Lubumbashi in Katanga Province, next to the Zambian Copperbelt.
