The Yellala Falls (Rapides de Yelala or Chutes Yelala; also spelled as Ielala) are a series of waterfalls and rapids on the Congo River just upstream from Matadi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The falls are the lowest of a long series of rapids that render the river unnavigable, forcing colonial explorers to travel by foot as far as the Stanley Pool 350 kilometres (220 mi) upstream.[1] The Congo is the second largest river in the world by volume of water discharged, and the deepest in the world.[2] The section of river that ends with the Yellala falls has over 300 species of fish, many found nowhere else.[3]
