The **Wamba River** ([French](/source/French_language): *Rivière Wamba*, [Portuguese](/source/Portuguese_language): *Rio Wamba*) is a river in the [Democratic Republic of the Congo](/source/Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo) (DRC) and [Angola](/source/Angola). It arises at an elevation of around 3,250 feet (990 m) as the confluence of several small streams in the [Lunda Norte Province](/source/Lunda_Norte_Province) of [Angola](/source/Angola), a region of low hills and shallow ravines.[1] In Angola it is known as the **Uamba River**.

It flows northward, where it forms a section of the Angola/DRC [border](/source/Angola%E2%80%93Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo_border), then for most of its length runs through the [Kwango Province](/source/Kwango) to its confluence into the [Kwango River](/source/Kwango_River) at an elevation of 1,023 feet (312 m).[2]
