We are proud to introduce this exciting water activity on the Ubangi River in Bangui for anyone who is crazy about adventurous sports. What better way to explore this mighty river which separates the DRC and the Central African Republic than by means of a jetski.
The jetskis are brand new and have been imported straight from Japan. They are well maintained by a mechanic to ensure maximum safety and life jackets always come with the rental of the jetskis.
Please, let us know if you’re interested in renting a jetski during your stay in Bangui. This can be a nice addition next to your safari to Dzanga Sangha National Park during your travel in the Central African Republic.
All our tours take place at the Ubangi River.
Some more information on the Ubangi River:
The Ubangui or Ubangi River (African international alphabet) is a long river in central Africa, one of the main tributaries of the Congo River that is born from the confluence of two great rivers, the Mbomou and the Uele. The Ubangui has a length of 1,120 km, although if the Ubangui-Uele river system is considered, it reaches up to 2,272 km, which places it among the 60 longest rivers on Earth. It drains a large basin of 754,830 km², which also places it among the 50 largest basins in the world.
The Ubangui River arises from the confluence of the Mbomou and Uele rivers and since its source it has served as a natural border between the Central African Republic, to the north, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), to the south. The river flows west for 350 km. It then turns southwest and passes through Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic and the largest city along its entire length (pop. 684,190 in 2005). Then the river heads south and another section of about 100 km continues to be the border. Then it follows the same course to the south being the border, this time between the DRC, to the east, and the Republic of Congo, to the west, a stretch of about 500 km that ends when it drains on the right bank into the Congo River.
The river is navigable downstream from Bangui and there are regular ferry and barge services from Kisangani and Brazzaville.
The main cities that it crosses along its course, in a downstream direction, are: Kemba, Yakoma, Limassa, Ngalo, Satéma, Mobaye, Mobayi-Mbomgi, Kouango, Sidi, Pandu, Gele, Bangui, Bétou, Dongo, Dongou , Impfondo, Buburu and Irebue, at the mouth.
