The Kwilu River is a major river that originates in Angola and flows north through Bandundu Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the city of Bandundu, where it joins the Kwango River just before this stream enters the Kasai River. In the DRC the river flows past the towns of Gungu, Kikwit, Bulungu, Bagata and Bandundu. Lusanga, formerly Leverville, lies at the location where the Kwenge River joins the Kwilu, between Kikwit and Bulungu. The river is about long. In the wet season the flooded area covers . The headwaters of the river rise at elevations between and in the Angolan highlands. They drop steeply to the flat central Congo Basin at between and above sea level. A 2011 survey found 113 species of fish in 21 families and eight orders.
