Kotto River


The Kotto River is a tributary of the Oubangui River in the Central African Republic.
Its source is on the border between the Central African Republic and Sudan. It flows generally north-east to south-west for past Bria, joining the Ubangi River east of Mobaye. The river separates the Tondou Massif from the Mongos chain to the north. There are several rapids along its course.
The Kotto River gives its name to two of the Central African Republic's sixteen prefectures, Haute-Kotto and Basse-Kotto.
