The Koda is a river in the Djugu Territory, Ituri province, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
[1] The river starts in the Lendu Plateau northwest of Lake Albert, in the farmlands south and southwest of Kpandroma, at an altitude of about 2050 m. It initially runs a fairly level course in the general south direction, about 4 km east of Mount Aboro (the highest peak in the plateau).
Near 2°00′04″N 30°54′15″E / 2.0010°N 30.9042°E / 2.0010; 30.9042, at about 2000 m altitude, it starts running down the steep slope of the plateau in the direction of Lake Albert.
[3][4] Shortly after the edge of the plateau, at about 2°00′02″N 30°54′16″E / 2.000537°N 30.904348°E / 2.000537; 30.904348, the river splits into two branches that run about 20 m apart and rejoin 90 m further downstream, forming an oblong island.
The region, and a few more forest patches to its southwest, are one of the last refuges of a subspecies of chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii.
