The Kwenge River is a stream in the Bandundu Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The river begins in Angola and then for about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) it forms a short part of the Angola–DRC border.[1] It flows north from the Angola border through the Kwango and Kwilu districts, joining the Kwilu River below Kikwit.[2] Lusanga, formerly Leverville, is at the confluence of the Kwenge and Kwilu rivers.[3]
The land between the Kwilu and the Kwenge was first occupied be the Pende people.[4] The Suku people, who came to the region from the Kwango River valley in the 1800s, live in the savanna region between the upper Bakali and Kwenge rivers.[5] The lowest part of the river valley contains strips of periodically or permanently flooded land.[6]
