Depending on which slopes the rivers of Angola descend from, the place of confluence also changes. If these are the western slopes, then the mouth is the waters of the Atlantic, the northern ones are the Congo, the southwest is the Zambezi, and the southern ones are the Kalahari sands.
Kasai river
The river bed is located on the territory of two countries - Angola and DR Congo. Kasai is one of the tributaries of the Congo. The total length of the current is two thousand one hundred fifty-three kilometers. The catchment area is more than eight hundred and eighty thousand square kilometers.
The Kasai current takes its origin in the lands of Angola. It is the waters of the river that play the role of a natural border, dividing the lands of two neighboring countries. It ends the path of the water of the river near Kinshasa (DR Congo), connecting with the waters of the mighty Congo.
The largest tributaries of the river are Sankoru, Fimi and Kwangu.
Gwando river
The river bed belongs to several countries at once - Angola, Zambia, Namibia and Botswana. The river has several names at once: the upper reaches are Kwando (Kuando), but in the lower reaches - Chobe, Linyanti. The total length of the current is eight hundred kilometers. Kwando is a right tributary of the Zambezi River.
The beginning of Kwando is located on the lands of Angola (the territory of the Biye plateau). After that, the waters of the river run through the lands of the Kwando-Kubango province (its eastern part). Then the current moves to the lands of Namibia and Botswana. About two hundred and twenty-five kilometers of the middle course is the natural border dividing the lands of Angola and Zambia.
Lungwebungu river
The Lungwebungu carries its waters through Angolan and Zambian territory. The total length of the river flow is six hundred and forty-five kilometers.
The river originates in the lands of Angola (the central part of the country at an altitude of one thousand four hundred meters). The floodplain of the river has different widths - from three to five kilometers. And in the rainy season, it turns out to be steadily flooded.
The river bed is highly tortuous. The mouth of the river is the Zambezi waters. Lungwebungu joins the river about one hundred and five kilometers from Mongu. In addition, Lungwebungu is also the largest tributary of the Zambezi in the upper reaches.
The river, like other waterways in southeastern Africa, depends on the seasons: the rivers simply overflow in the rainy seasons and practically dry up in the dry season.
Kunene river
Kunene is one of the few never-ending rivers in southwestern Africa. The river begins on the lands of Angola, and, rushing to the mouth, - the waters of the Atlantic - crosses the lands of Namibia (the natural border between these states).
The length of the river flow is one thousand two hundred and seven kilometers with a catchment area of almost one hundred and ten thousand kilometers. The source of Kunene is located on the Biye plateau (near the town of Huambo).
When it flows into the Atlantic, it creates a wide, in several branches, delta, thirty kilometers wide.
