Location Katanga Province

The Mulobozi River is a stream in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo that flows through the Marungu highlands from the west into Lake Tanganyika just to the north of Moba port. The riparian forest patches along its course are in great danger of destruction from logging and from stream bank erosion by cattle. [1] The mollusk Tomichia guillemei inhabits Mulobozi and lives on muddy river deltas in Lake Tanganyika.[2]
