Distance from Libreville to the Congo River

Libreville, the capital of Gabon, sits on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. The Congo River, the second-longest river in Africa, flows through the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.

The straight-line distance from Libreville to the mouth of the Congo River is approximately 1,000 kilometers (621 miles). Overland travel between the two points is significantly longer due to the lack of direct roads and the dense rainforest terrain of the Congo Basin.
