Originating in the highlands along Mozambique's northern border with Malawi, the Revúboé flows south for several hundred kilometers through the rugged countryside.

[2] The Revuboe mouths at the left bank of the Zambezi River near the city of Tete.

[3] The Revúboé flows near some of Mozambique's largest reserves of coal and coke; as such, several large mining projects draw water from the river for use in mining operations.

[5] The river's delivery of water and nutrients from the north of the country stimulates agriculture along its course.

[6] The lands near the mouth of the river were traditionally fertile farmlands, but government-sponsored relocation of farmers (done to clear land for mining projects) in the 2010s resulted in a decline in agricultural activity.
