course

The Itimbiri is a tributary of the Congo and flows into it between Bolama and Bumba . The Itimbiri is navigable as far as Aketi in the approximately 200 kilometers long lower course . Its upper course, about 250 kilometers long, is called Rubi . At Djamba , the Rubi from the east and the Likati from the north unite to form Itimbiri. At Aketi, the Aketi and Tele flow to it from the southeast . The latter rises in the same hills as the Rubi, but describes a much longer southern loop.
