The Congo River, one of the longest rivers in the world, has seen numerous drownings over the years, but specific annual statistics can vary widely. Reports suggest that hundreds of people may drown in the river each year due to its strong currents, lack of safety measures, and overcrowded boats. However, precise numbers can be difficult to obtain due to the river's remote locations and varying reporting standards. For the most accurate data, local authorities or organizations monitoring river safety would be the best sources.

The sources of the Congo are in the highlands and mountains of the East African Rift, as well as Lake Tanganyika and Lake Mweru, which feed the Lualaba River, which then becomes the Congo below Boyoma Falls. The Chambeshi River in Zambia is generally taken as the source of the Congo in line with the accepted practice worldwide of using the longest tributary, as with the Nile River.
