Gibe River information


Map showing the Omo basin, with the Gibe River (Top right)

The Gibe River (also Great Gibe River) is by far the largest tributary of the Omo River in southwestern Ethiopia and flows generally south-southeast. The confluence of the Gibe River 8°19′N 37°28′E / 8.317°N 37.467°E / 8.317; 37.467 with the smaller Wabe River forms the Omo River. The whole drainage basin is sometimes referred to as the Omo-Gibe River Basin with the Gibe and the Omo draining the (respectively) upper and lower reaches.

In common with most of Ethiopia's rivers, the Gibe is not navigable.
