The Kilungutwe River is a watercourse located in the Mwenga Territory of the South Kivu Province, situated in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).[1] With an elevation of 882 meters, it functions as a tributary to the Ulindi River. Following the confluence with the Ulindi River approximately 30 km northwest, the Ulindi River proceeds on its course, eventually joining the Congo River.[2][3][4] The Kilungutwe River was historically known as the gateway to the jungle from the highlands to the northeast.[3][5]
The river is a habitat for various species, including catfish, tilapia, and Clarias anguillaris. Further downstream, the Kilungutwe village is rich in biodiversity, with luxuriant vegetation and a diverse range of flora and fauna. The river is also a regional economic component and a substantial water source for irrigation and fishing.[6][7][8]
