Kinshasa and Brazzaville are on opposite sides of the river at the Pool, then the river narrows and falls through a number of cataracts in deep canyons, running by Matadi and Boma, and into the sea at the small town of Muanda.
Although its existence was long known, and its great size guessed at, Henry Morton Stanley was the first European to navigate along the river's length and report on it.
Nearly the entire Congo is readily navigable, and railways bypass the three major falls, and much of the trade of central Africa passes along it, including copper, palm oil (as kernels), sugar, coffee, and cotton.

 [monkeywire] Elusive African Apes: Giant Chimps or New Species?
The detective story began in 1908 when a Belgian army officer returned home with several gorilla skulls from near the town of Bili on the Uele River and gave them to the Belgium's Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren.
In 2000, Ammann returned to the area described by the bush meat hunter with a group of ape researchers.
"I would think there is a strong possibility that south of Bili on the other side of the Uele River there may be gorillas, and this would seem an important area to turn our attention to," said Sarmiento.

Gorillas ranged into the northern Congo basin early this century, north of the Uele River; Gorillas are now believed to be extinct in the region.
REASONS FOR DECLINE Forest clearance for agriculture and commercial logging and hunting for food are factors which adversely affect Gorillas and are likely to increase as human numbers rise.
Although the new government is aware of the importance of gorilla conservation to economic reconstruction, it is largely dependent on aid from relief organisations (Kalpers, 1993; Redmond, 1995).
