With a length of roughly 2,900 miles (4,700 km), this river flows through much of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and then enters the Atlantic Ocean. What is the name of this second largest river in Africa?

The Congo river finds its source in northeastern Zambia between Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa. Along with the Amazon, the Congo river is one of the larger rivers of the world that flows out of an equatorial zone that sees heavy rainfall for most of the year. The capitals Brazzaville of the Republic of the Congo, and Kinshasa of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are located right across the river from one another.
