Map of DR Congo showing the Lomami River in red The Lomami River (Swahili: Mto Lomami, French: Rivière Lomami, Dutch: Lomami Rivier) is a major tributary of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The river is approximately 1,280 km (800 mi) long. It flows north, west of and parallel to the upper Congo.
The Lomami rises in the south of the country, near Kamina and the Congo–Zambezi divide. It flows north through Lubao, Tshofa [fr], Kombe, Bolaiti, Opala, and Irema before joining the Congo at Isangi.
