利文斯通瀑布法语Chutes Livingstone),位于非洲刚果民主共和国中部刚果河下游的一道急湍,是世界上流量最大的瀑布。

湍流部分有350公里之长,从金沙萨附近的马莱博湖直至刚果西部城市马塔迪,总落差270

瀑布以19世纪苏格兰探险家传教士大卫·利文斯通命名,但实际上利文斯通并没有探索到这个地区。

交通

[编辑]

金沙萨是刚果河沿岸自李文斯顿瀑布往上游方向、第一个可以实际通航的河埠,因此具有重要的交通地位。在当时,由于利文斯通瀑布过大的落差阻断了刚果河上下游间的直接航运,非洲内陆生产的货物都是以河运方式在利奥波德城集中后,再以人力挑运的方式,沿著刚果河岸运送到下游的马塔迪,装运上船继续运送。1898年时,连结两个城市的铁路修筑完成,使得刚果河上下游之间的运输效率大幅提升。
