Dja River

Dja River

also called  Ngoko River 

      river in west-central Africa that forms part of the border between Cameroon and the Republic of the Congo (Congo). It rises southeast of Abong Mbang, in southeastern Cameroon, and flows generally southeast past Moloundou to Ouesso, Republic of the Congo, where it empties into the Sangha River (a tributary of the Congo River) after a course of about 450 miles (720 km). The Dja Faunal Reserve in Cameroon, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, lies along its upper course and protects one of the largest tracts of tropical rainforest in Africa. Below Moloundou, the river is navigable by small boats throughout the year and supports local fishing.
