Kwilu province extends across 79,906 square kilometers of land characterized by plateaus, savannas, and numerous rivers crossing through its territories.
The region transformed from an administrative district to a province in 2015 when the government divided the former Bandundu Province into three separate provinces.

The province contains two major cities, Bandundu and Kikwit, along with five territories divided into seven urban communes and eight rural communes.
