The Kongo kingdom was located in between many water bodies. With the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Kwango river in the east. From the Congo river in the north, stretching towards the Loje River in the south. Inside the basin of the Congo river, which stretches 1,400,000 sq. mi., there are forests, marshes, lakes, and many other streams branching of the Congo. Mbanza Kongo, the capital, was sorrounded by rainforests and grasslands that were abundant with fertile soil that made farming succesful. Click here to go back to the Kongo Kingdom home page.
