A little about Democratic Republic of Congo
Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire) is located in South Central Africa with a narrow strip of land on the northern bank of the Zaire River. It is bound by the Republic of Congo and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Angola to the southwest, Zambia to the southeast, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda to the east, Sudan to the northeast and the Central African Republic to the north and northwest. The country is divided into four physical regions. (1.) The low lying central area which is a plateau that slopes to the west. (2.) Mountain terraces, plateaux and dense grasslands which surround the central plateau to the west, south, southeast and northwest. (3.) High mountains which include the Ngoma, Virunga, Ruwenzori, Blue, Kundelunga and Marungu Mountains that enclose the country to the north. (4.) The coastline of Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire), which is also bordered by a tiny plain. The principal river is the Zaire which flows into the Atlantic Ocean and nearly drains the entire country.
